Depth
therapy has changed significantly from the Classical Freudian model
which held the therapist in a Superior position. Today many analyst
conceptualize a therapist/client collaborative approach.
The focus is on
relational explanations where conflictual attachments patterns may be
the concern.
We can work on issues such as:
- Depression,
- Anxiety,
- Self-esteem,
- Mid-life Transition,
- Existential Issues,
- Goals,
- Regrets,
- Partner lack of communication
- Substance Abuse,
- Problematic Sexual Behavior such as addiction to porn, prostitutes, sex, affairs, and sexting etc.
Many
of my clients have expressed difficulty discussing their experiences with
friends and family. I offer a professional counseling
relationship that provides confidential, committed, and supportive
therapy where my clients can tell their story, and be heard. This
process helps you, the client, sort out your issues.
