Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how feelings, relationships, and past experiences shape what is happening in your life now.
What the term means
Psychodynamic therapy is a family of approaches that grew out of psychoanalytic ideas. It pays attention to feelings that are hard to notice, patterns that repeat, and the ways earlier relationships can influence present ones.
What sessions are like
Sessions are conversational. You talk about what is on your mind, and Rebecca listens for themes, connections, and feelings that may not be immediately obvious. Over time, the conversation can make sense of reactions that once felt confusing.

This page explains the approach. It does not claim that psychodynamic therapy is better than other forms of therapy or that it will produce a specific result for you. People benefit from different approaches, and fit matters.
