About Therapy
There are many approaches to psychotherapy—also known as talk therapy. Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy are one approach. At NYCCSW we use this approach because of its potential for deeper growth and lasting changes. Psychoanalysis understands that our feelings, motives, and decisions are powerfully influenced by our past experiences. These experiences greatly shape us and contribute to our way of being in the present. Understanding the connections between past experiences and the challenges we may be encountering now can lead to resolving emotional difficulties and to meaningful change for the better.
Here are some ways therapy can help:
Enhance overall well-being and potential
Develop inner strength
Discover new insights
