How It Works
Psychodynamic therapy is exploratory and open-ended. Sessions focus on your free associations, dreams, relationship patterns, and the therapeutic relationship itself as a window into your inner life. The pace is slower and the goals are deeper than symptom relief—we’re working to understand the structure of your psychology.
Who This Is For
Psychodynamic therapy is best suited for individuals who are psychologically minded, motivated to explore, and interested in understanding themselves rather than just managing symptoms. It’s often used alongside or after more structured approaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as Freudian therapy?
Psychoanalysis has evolved considerably since Freud. Modern psychodynamic therapy incorporates object relations, attachment theory, and relational approaches alongside classical concepts.
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Yes. A substantial research literature supports the effectiveness of psychodynamic therapy, particularly for complex, chronic, and personality-level difficulties.
How long does psychodynamic therapy take?
It’s typically longer-term than CBT—often a year or more—because the goals are deeper. Brief psychodynamic therapy is also available for focused concerns.
Will I lie on a couch?
No. Modern psychodynamic therapy is conducted face-to-face in a conversational format.
