Psychoanalysis in Ottawa
Psychoanalysis is a sustained exploration of the mind—working through patterns that have shaped your life in ways you may not yet recognize. It supports lasting psychological change and deeper self-understanding.
How Psychoanalysis Works
Psychoanalysis typically involves meeting more frequently—often two or three times a week. This creates continuity that allows deeper patterns to emerge naturally over time.
Some people find it easier to speak freely while using the couch, which eases the demands of face-to-face conversation and allows attention to turn inward. Others prefer to work face-to-face throughout. We determine the arrangement together based on what suits you and the work.
Who Seeks Psychoanalysis
People come to psychoanalysis for many reasons: to understand themselves more fully, to explore how they relate to others, or to live with greater freedom and authenticity.
Psychoanalysis in Ottawa: Practical Considerations
I see analytic patients from my office in central Ottawa (361 Waverley St). I work with patients to find arrangements that are sustainable for their lives.
Reduced fees may be available. I try to ensure that finances don't make it impossible for those who would benefit.
I offer complimentary consultations to discuss whether psychoanalysis might suit your needs.
