Waitlist for new clients
CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. In the adventure of life, there are challenges. Sometimes we come out on top, while other times we get dragged down by heartaches, broken relationships, and frustrations. Our coping skills stop working. We can keep on limping along or reach out and ask for help. As a therapist practicing for over 10 years, I have had the honor of journeying with children, adults, and families through their challenges to find hope and healing.

My name is Kevin Farrell, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for 19 years. Over my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of clients across the lifespan. The areas I have focused on are addictions, LGBTQ+, identity, attachment, and end-of-life issues. My primary goal is to build trust and a strong alliance with a client in order to assist them in the process of change. I consider myself to be a psychodynamic psychotherapist, meaning that I often look beneath the surface of what the client feels, says, or does.

What is the purpose of therapy? I believe it helps people understand what they need from themselves or their loved ones, and how to ask for it. It's often necessary for people to understand why they stopped using their voice to ask for what they need, or to find out if they ever learned how to use it. Through unconditional support, non-judgment, and caring confrontation, my intention is to help people find peace and trust in their relationships and within themselves. I have worked for several mental health agencies, and have extensive experience helping individuals, couples, and families.

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.
