Extensive research has shown that therapy conducted with a licensed therapist helps people improve their mental health. However, each person responds differently to treatment. A full extensive treatment can take several months and even years, however, as the patient, you are always in charge of how long you decide to stay in treatment.

Psychoanalysis is a significant investment on both the patient and the therapist with the aim to create deep, expansive, and meaningful change within the person. It is a longer, more intense treatment that can often be tremendously rewarding and life-changing. The increased time allows the therapist and patient to get a richer understanding of unconscious dynamics that create emotional suffering and inhibit one from living a fuller life.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort where therapists work with patients on issues that are troubling them. It can be helpful with acute issues such as a recent breakup, a specific loss, or anxiety related to a troubling situation. Psychotherapy is typically conducted at a lower frequency than psychoanalysis and is best for acute issues or difficulties related to a specific life event.
