Psychodynamic Therapy
Understanding your past transforms your present. Awareness creates the freedom to choose differently.
WHAT IS PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY?
Psychodynamic therapy explores the deeper layers of emotional life – helping you understand how the past continues to shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships in the present. Rooted in self-reflection and curiosity, this approach invites you to look beneath the surface to uncover the patterns, defenses, and internal narratives that influence how you experience yourself and others.
In therapy, the relationship between you and your clinician becomes a powerful mirror – a space where unconscious patterns can emerge safely and be understood with compassion. Through this process, you begin to recognize the ways early experiences have informed your present behavior and emotional world, often without conscious awareness.
The goal of psychodynamic therapy is not only to alleviate distress or reduce symptoms, but to foster genuine insight and emotional freedom. By illuminating the past, you gain the clarity and flexibility to make new choices in the present – breaking long-standing cycles and cultivating relationships that feel more authentic, secure, and fulfilling.
Psychodynamic therapy helps you move from reaction to understanding, from repetition to creation – building a more conscious relationship with yourself and your life.
We see the central task of psychotherapy as the rewriting of a more complex and useful narrative of the patient’s life and experience.

PERVASIVNESS OF PATTERNS AND REPETITIONS FROM THE PAST
Psychodynamic therapy helps illuminate how your past continues to shape your present – not as fate, but as insight. By recognizing recurring emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and internal conflicts, you begin to see how old narratives replay in your current life.
Within the therapeutic relationship, these patterns can be understood and transformed, allowing you to rewrite your story with greater awareness, compassion, and choice.
