Intensive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Center

About Our Program What is psychodynamic psychotherapy? The Intensive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Center provides diagnostic and intensive treatment services to adults who would benefit from intensive treatment. In addition, this center strives to meet the need for intensive psychotherapy by offering a greater frequency of sessions and a lengthier therapeutic experience. In dynamic therapy, the client and therapist look at the present and the past, working to foster a more adaptive, gratifying, and productive future. Early relationships influence the people we become, our ways of interacting with others, and our views of the people around us. Gaining insight into our behaviors by becoming more aware influences our ability to become more productive at work, more relaxed during recreation, and more balanced in our social lives. By coming in twice a week, treatment is more effective, allowing clients to develop greater understandings of their current difficulties, providing for long-lasting growth and psychological development. What forms of therapy are offered? From a psychodynamic treatment modality, many effective therapy approaches are offered. These include n individual therapy n family therapy n couple therapy Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a treatment modality that aims at gaining a better appreciation of our personal and interpersonal experiences. Individuals are assisted in developing deeper understandings of their past experiences and present behavior. This approach is based on the psychological truism: “One who does not understand the past is condemned to repeat it.” What does the past have to do with my problems now? What is the benefit of coming in twice a week? How it works During sessions, the client is encouraged to reflect on past experiences and to become increasingly introspective to gain a better understanding of his or her needs, wishes, values, and desires. Understandably, all information shared in treatment is confidential. Clients often report personal thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and dreams that can lead to greater awareness of the magnitude of their core conflicts. By being a sympathetic listener and empathetic facilitator, the therapist accompanies the patient on this voyage of self discovery and personal growth. Who can benefit from the treatment? Anyone who would like to gain a greater understanding of themselves and how they relate to others would benefit. Seeking help is a sign of good mental health and suggests a willingness to assume responsibility for one’s behavior, as well as a greater capacity to live a mature, dependable, and reliable life.
