It is my belief that therapy is a place where anyone can work towards a greater understanding of themselves and the patterns that might contribute to their difficulties. I practice attentive listening with the goal of fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and alleviation from emotional pain. I operate from a psychodynamic perspective when working with adults and teens, meaning that we will work towards a deeper understanding of unconscious conflicts, and examine how past experiences and relationships may be affecting how you operate in the present.

My name is Lashaunta Hogan. You just made the first step, Congratulations! The initial step in asking for help can sometimes be the hardest to make. Reading this is that step. Life can be overwhelming and when those times occur, it helps to have someone trained and unbiased to help navigate those situations. Choosing someone to help traverse transitional life circumstances, choosing new life directions, or just having someone to work through normal everyday life, is one of the most important choices you can ever make. You should never feel embarrassed or judged to ask for help. I hope that I can be that person for you.

Life can be stressful and sometimes overwhelming, especially when we don’t have good boundaries and healthy coping strategies. For many of us, life presents ongoing challenges that keep us from living a life that feels satisfying and purposeful. Our inability to effectively respond to these challenges can take us off course, interrupt our progress and interfere with our ability to be the person we desire to be. I am passionate about self-introspection, self-empowerment and growth. I believe in the potential of people to heal and have the life they deserve.

Sarah believes that each client is the author of his or her own life experiences, and has the capability of maneuvering and pushing forward through circumstances in life. She recognizes it can be difficult and scary learning and implementing the tools needed to accomplish fears and worries. "It's like exercising a new muscle. It may hurt and get sore by working-out, but the muscle grows stronger the more effort you put into working on it." She has extensively researched the concept of empathy to help clients work through their trauma to develop secure attachment styles as well as understanding perspectives and co-dependency actions.

I believe most men want to be good but struggle with making sense of their inner world and knowing how to wield the strength God has given them. This can leave us feeling frustrated, as well as those we're in relationship with. We know there's more to us, but we don't know how to access this more. And the weight and fear of these expectations often robs us of our ability to make an impact for good in the world. To be sure, our work and friendships, marriage, sex life, parenting, and the like all suffer when there's not peace in our inner world.

I am excited to connect with people who find themselves ready for a change, but perhaps unsure of how to make that happen for themselves. I enjoy helping people explore all parts of their life to help make sense of present situations and to make a plan for a healthier future. This can look like discussing nutrition, exercise, emotional intelligence, past relationships and family dynamics, as well as a myriad of other topics. I prioritize a holistic approach for not only my clients, but for my own life as well and have personally experienced healthy change from this perspective.

Psychodynamic Therapists

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?

Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?

Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?

Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?

Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
