Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Charlotte provides individual psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults on a weekly or twice-weekly basis.
Talk therapy starts with a focus on whatever is causing distress in a person's life and proceeds with an exploration of the causes of that distress. What distinguishes psychodynamic therapy from other treatmens is its focus on the unconscious causes of suffering. Over time, the goal is to reduce symptoms, increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and ultimately to lead a more satisfying life.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is characterized by a greater depth and intensity than weekly psychotherapy. Patients in analysis attend 4 sessions per week, and may lie on the couch rather than sitting up face-to-face. Although very different from how it was practised in Freud's day, psychoanalysis remains one of the most effective treatments for longstanding issues resistant to other therapies.
Professional Consultation
Professional consultation is available to licensed clinicians or helping professionals of any background (e.g. MD, RN, M.Ed.) who want to enhance their therapeutic skills and increase their understanding of the subtle and complex relationship dynamics inherent to the helping professions.
