My style is psychodynamic; more specifically modern psychoanalytic.
Life is a constant battle and we do what we can to power through every day. We can't control everything that comes our way but we can learn to control how to process our environment in a way that is more constructive and less overwhelming. Is stress permeating your days? Are the smallest things causing anxiety? Do you feel easily attacked, targeted, on the defensive? When something bad happens around you, do you usually believe you are partially to blame? Difficult jobs, heavy workload, relationship struggles, family issues, and more concerns can be eased with talking it out in a safe and judgment-free space.

Existential and psychodynamic frameworks to better understand patterns of self, others, and the world.
You might be feeling disconnected—from yourself, your relationships, or the life you want to live. Maybe you're caught in open loops and unhelpful cycles: depression, self-doubt, anxiety, addiction, chronic stress - and you're longing to understand and accept yourself more fully. You seek clarity, balance, and a way to navigate the complexities of life without sacrificing your authenticity. I work well with individuals who feel "stuck" and are seeking insight into the 'why'. Together we'll collaborate on strategies so you can apply that knowledge via skillful action in your life.

Psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic psychotherapy is uniquely geared toward listening more deeply into the conflicts you feel inside.
I provide psychotherapy, consultation and referral services for adults, and play therapy for children. Anxiety and depression impact most people at some point in their lives. In my work with patients, I strive to listen deeply. In my experience, being truly listened to is rare, and helps a lot. Being with someone who strives to understand you without judgment increases a capacity to feel more love and satisfaction. I know that disturbing thoughts, feelings and behaviors have meaning. When these meanings can be understood, life starts to feel better. This work can help you to begin to heal, but it is a process.

Niedermeyer provides culturally responsive psychotherapy and dream consultation from a psychodynamic, Jungian treatment approach, aiming to achieve wholeness over perfection.
You hope to ease your distress and experience healing, and ultimately, to enjoy satisfying, fulfilling relationships with others and with yourself. You seek the magic that comes from looking within and cultivating a relationship with your own rich inner world- a brave and vulnerable first step to finding wholeness, relief, and self-awareness. Depth psychotherapy is the process of turning inward and examining unconscious aspects of the self that have influenced you outside of your awareness, a practice that not only alleviates symptoms and suffering, but transforms unhealthy coping behaviors and problematic relationship patterns.

Trauma leaves its mark – on our hearts, our minds, and our connections. It tells us untruths such as, "I am not good enough" and often shows up as anxiety. But healing is possible. In fact, the mind and body are healing machines. My hope is to empower you to heal the root cause of your compulsive thoughts/behaviors; to gently look beneath the soil, rather than just clip the leaves. To achieve this and other positive outcomes, I tap into my extensive training as a somatic therapist, as well as my own experiences of "doing the work". This may sound daunting – we will go at your pace. It could be the journey of a lifetime!

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.
