Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy are unique forms of intensive psychotherapy that foster personal development and liberation from unsatisfying or painful patterns of living. These forms of psychotherapy are most suitable for people seeking to change deep, core, lifelong problems.
The process of psychoanalysis depends on the establishment of a safe, confidential, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. The frequency of sessions typically ranges from one to five times a week. Frequent sessions allow your dilemmas to come to life in the intricacies of the psychoanalytic relationship. This means that many of those lifelong patterns that are currently outside of your awareness will end up playing out in the therapy, so we can examine them together and come to a better-shared understanding of what they mean.

Psychoanalysis offers a unique and comprehensive method of thinking and working therapeutically. Although it is recognized that no single theory can account for the complexities of the human mind, psychoanalytic tradition and technique are valuable resources for understanding the psychological processes of personal development and social interaction.
