Psychodynamic therapy

The psychodynamic model is an older approach and has its roots in psychoanalytic therapy. It focuses on better understanding yourself and examining inner conflicts as a means to alleviate distress and improve relationships and other aspects of your life. A psychodynamic approach may draw connections between your current feelings and past experiences and will identify common patterns in your thoughts, experiences, or relationships- including similarities between the therapist-patient relationship and relationships outside of therapy. Psychodynamic therapy has its roots in traditional psychoanalysis and modern evidence suggests it can be effective in treating depression, anxiety, and other conditions.
