As a Psychodynamic therapist I view anxiety depression and negative reactions like warning light that should cause people to slow down and take care of themselves.

For as long as you can remember, life’s been a struggle. You learned early on that it was safest to stay small, quiet, and not make a fuss. As you got older, you found yourself repeating these same patterns in your relationships, enduring a string of toxic partners because you don’t believe you deserve any better. All the while, you keep a smile on your face. You take on more and more responsibility, spreading yourself perilously thin, hiding your feelings behind a successful facade. It’s exhausting, but it’s easier than facing the truth; that every day you feel more anxious, trapped, and disconnected. Something has to change.

My ideal client is thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of repeating the same patterns in relationships, work, or within themselves. They may be navigating relationship conflict, life transitions, burnout, anxiety, or the emotional impact of trauma. Many feel disconnected from their bodies, their desires, or a sense of meaning, and want more than surface-level coping skills. They’re seeking a space that is affirming, honest, and emotionally attuned, where they can slow down, understand themselves more deeply, and build relationships that feel secure and authentic.

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.
