Psychoanalytic treatment explores how unconscious factors affect current relationships and patterns of behavior, traces them back to their historical origins, shows how they have changed and developed over time, and helps the individual to deal better with the realities of adult life.

The psychoanalytic framework stresses the importance of understanding:

• that each individual is unique,
• that there are factors outside of a person’s awareness (unconscious thoughts, feelings and experiences) which influence his or her thoughts and actions,
• that the past shapes the present,
• that human beings are always engaged in the process of development throughout their lives.

Psychoanalysis can help patients identify, understand and resolve underlying issues so that they can improve their lives and relationships. The benefits include emotional growth and greater self awareness, deeper intimacy in love relationships and improved control over one’s life.

Our patients tell us that they have better interactions at home, at work and in social situations. They can make healthier choices and gain a greater sense of self respect.
