FAQs
What are psychoanalytic therapy sessions like?

Sessions will last 55 minutes long. During the session, you will talk about anything you like (random thoughts, a pressing situation, a recent dream) and we will have a conversation, attempting to understand the connections and patterns.

How often do I need to come to therapy?

Ideally psychoanalytic psychotherapy works best when meeting weekly. This allows the maximum use of each session and allows for a greater connection between us as we work together.

How do I know if psychoanalytic psychotherapy will work for me?

With any type of therapy, there is some uncertainty if it will be the best fit for you. Typically I like to consider the first month of therapy as a trial period where we can see what it feels like to work together and if you think it can be helpful.
