Experienced therapists offering sliding-scale, high-quality therapy.

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy.

Many clients come to us because they feel stuck, flat, or are repeating patterns in work, love, and life. It can feel like something inside is misfiring, even if you can’t name it or explain why.

That’s when psychoanalytic therapy comes in.

Our work helps you understand the roots of your experience—how early relationships, unconscious beliefs, and long-standing emotional patterns may be shaping how you feel today.

It’s about depth, meaning, and lasting change. Or it’s about the deeper forces shaping behavior, not just managing symptoms.

FAQ

What is psychoanalytic therapy?

Psychoanalytic therapy helps people address their concerns while understanding how their past affects how they feel and act today. Therapists trained in these approaches address client concerns through looking at deep patterns, thoughts, and feelings that might not be easy to see at first. This kind of therapy helps people make sense of their emotions and feel more in control of their lives.
