At Chicago Psychotherapy and Consulting, all of our clinicians have education and training in the use of psychodynamic psychotherapy. We are passionate about this approach because we have seen our clients benefit from the lasting positive change that this relationship-focused work can provide.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a a form of talk therapy that is aimed at helping you learn to recognize patterns in behavior and relationships in order to gain more self-awareness and to ultimately experience more satisfaction in life. As we grow, we develop approaches to responding to our problems, and when these approaches don’t seem to be working so well anymore we may get anxious, sad, or confused.

In therapy, we work together to understand how your unique history has informed your current experience, bringing your thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns into conscious awareness. With new understanding and perspective, you can learn to spot the patterns that aren’t working so well and develop more effective ways to address your problems.

Psychodynamic therapy can help you to truly understand and value your unique self, leading to a lasting sense of confidence and empowerment in your life and relationships. Reach out to one of our clinicians today and get started on the life you deserve!
