Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Millenials with Anxiety
I specialize in working with millennial adults who are experiencing anxiety and may have longstanding difficult relationship dynamics. My patients often come to me because they:
​
-
Feel anxious and overwhelmed, and overthink situations
-
Feel a need to be perfect
-
Struggle with imposter syndrome
-
Struggle to identify and give priority to their needs
-
Desire healthier, more fulfilling relationships
-
Have often tried other therapy modalities which were only minimally helpful
​
We will work together to ease your distress and find a deeper understanding of yourself and what underlies your symptoms, thus opening up the potential for lasting change. I practice from an attachment-based, psychodynamic orientation and completed a specialist psychodynamic internship as part of my doctoral training at the internationally renowned Tavistock Clinic in London. This approach to therapy aims to better understand your symptoms, difficulties, and relationship dynamics and explore the ways you may be feeling stuck. It focuses on identifying the origins of your struggles which may be outside of your awareness.
Working to resolve these underlying issues, can lead to deep and lasting growth towards living a more fulfilling, connected life with greater confidence, resilience, and self-acceptance.
​
Therapy sessions last 50 minutes and at an agreed upon frequency. Typically, this is not less than once per week. I tailor my treatment approach specifically for you, taking into account the current evidence base as well as your specific difficulties, experiences, relationship dynamics, and goals for therapy.
​
The initial consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we may be a good fit for ongoing therapy. At this time, you and I will discuss your goals for therapy and the recommended frequency of treatment. I am committed to ensuring that you are well matched with your therapist and receive the best treatment tailored to your needs. Therefore, if we determine I am not the best fit for you, I am happy to offer recommendations for alternative therapists.
My current fee is $195 - $225 per session. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, or credit card and is respectfully due at the time of the session. Plano Therapy Co., PLLC is not in network with any insurance providers but patients often use their out of network benefits to help pay for therapy. I am happy to provide a detailed superbill receipt upon request to submit to your insurance company to assist in reimbursement.
