Services
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a form of psychotherapeutic treatment and practice of personal transformation aimed at structural psychical/characterological change over at least two to three years in duration and with a frequency of at least two times per week.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a form of treatment aimed at making specific changes/decisions and resolving symptoms (such as depression and anxiety) and relationship problems. Psychotherapy does not have a definite length and usually involves once a week sessions.
Consultation
Consultation refers to the evaluation of the need or desire for psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and of the capacity to benefit from either form of treatment. I make recommendations in person or via e-mail for one or the other on a case by case basis and upon the consideration of several variables. Consultation can also be used for the evaluation of the effectiveness of prior treatment.
