Denver Psychoanalysis & Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Long-term therapy, long-term relief.

 

Identity, Character, & Existential Issues

Ever wonder: Who am I? Why do I act the way I do? Do I matter? Why do I make the same choices?

Depression

Do you wonder why, how or when you became so lifeless or mechanical? Do you feel worthless and hopeless? Have you lost interest in activities that once brought you joy?

Relationship Issues

Do you struggle to connect with your partner? Feeling insecure in your relationships? Have trust or control issues driven a wedge between you and your partner?

Anxiety

Do you often worry about what others think of you? Are you unsure of yourself? Do you feel like you have lost your abilities and grip on life?

Trauma

 Are you easily activated? Do you wonder why you cannot move past the terrible trauma and its’ persistent after and side effects?

When experiencing anxiety, depression, identity issues, trauma, or relationship problems, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed with emotions, stuck in unproductive cycles and/or out of sync with people and your surroundings.

Find your way back to Yourself

 

I believe that you hold all the answers, whether you know it or not…and most often not! We all have an Unconscious and with it an internal drive toward its’ discovery and exploration. It holds the keys to our ambivalence and stuckness and to the ways in which we continually get in our own way and hold ourselves back. I will help you discover this place in yourself so that you can better understand and tolerate the parts you dislike in yourself. This process and form of treatment take time and patience and the results are lasting since the changes that occur are structural to the person. Here’s a sketch of what that looks like:

Exploration.

You are the direct result of your life’s experiences. You and I will focus on where you are now, how you got here, what worked and didn’t, and really, begin exploring the root causes of your problems. We’ll talk about your values, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, sexuality, and dreams…basically, everything that makes you, You. We will meet often, at least three times a week which will give us the opportunity to explore the functionality of why you do what you do and the inherent patterns in your relationships.

Understanding.

Your perception of the world is shaped by your past experiences; in particular, by the emotional charge that potentially traumatic events have carried throughout your life. We will seek to understand how unconscious expressions of those emotional charges manifested through actions have led you to where you are now. The proverbial “A-HA!” moments tend to occur here.

Resolve.

With a clear understanding of where your problems stem from and the processing of whatever emotions may arise, you will have the chance to resolve the inner conflicts that have left you stuck, lost, and confused.

Reach out!

 

I offer individual psychotherapy to Artists, Adults, , Teens, and the LGBTQI community in Denver. Along with traditional talk therapy, I use art, music, and writing as well as Clinical Hypnosis.

If you are ready to put in the effort to improve your life and build the resilience to withstand whatever the future may bring, I invite you to call me at (720) 460-0552 to schedule an appointment today.
