Psychotherapy in Cambridge, MA

50 minutes

Some people seek therapy for overwhelming worry, sadness, anger, emptiness, or a feeling of being stuck. Whether or not anxiety, ADHD, or a mood disorder adds to the problem, people may feel a limited ability to cope with strong emotions. These challenges may lead to difficulty feeling good about one's behavior, sense of self, and capacity for close relationships. Unhappiness may overshadow strengths, as talents and creativity go unfulfilled.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy works to get to the root of your problems to change unproductive patterns of thinking, emotional processing, and relating to others. Feeling connected to yourself and others often matters more to your well-being than symptom relief alone. Therapy occurs within a warm, supportive relationship safe enough to try new ways of thinking and relating.

Meetings are usually weekly to three times weekly.

What is the framework of psychodynamic psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is treatment for symptoms, anxiety, and unhappiness. A range of interventions works to increase self-understanding, while bringing relief from suffering and fulfillment in life and relationships.

Psychodynamic (psychoanalytic) psychotherapy is based on psychoanalysis and a deep understanding of human experience, inner life, and emotional processes.

Psychotherapy meetings are less frequent than psychoanalysis, one to three times weekly instead of four to five. Meetings are usually with therapist and client facing each other, rather than lying on a couch.
