Psychodynamic Therapy in Ottawa
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of depth psychology that explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your present life. Psychodynamic therapy aims at understanding—helping you make sense of why you feel what you feel and why your relationships follow certain patterns.
How Psychodynamic Therapy Works
In psychodynamic therapy, we pay attention to what emerges in the conversation—not just the content of what you say, but the feelings that arise as you say it, the associations that come to mind, and the patterns that appear across different areas of your life. This kind of careful attention reveals connections that aren't visible on the surface.
Sessions typically occur once or twice a week, allowing enough continuity for deeper work while remaining manageable for most schedules. You can set the pace. What matters is the quality of reflection.
What Psychodynamic Therapy Can Help With
People seek psychodynamic therapy for many reasons: to understand themselves better, to explore their relationships, to work through a transition, or simply because they sense there's more to discover. The work supports clarity, self-knowledge, and a deeper sense of alignment with how you want to live.
