If you have arrived at this site, you have likely been feeling bad for quite some time. You have probably tried to manage your problems alone, or with support from friends or family, but somehow, that has not quite been enough. You may be wondering why you continue having the same relationship problems over and over, or the same painful feelings and reactions to life, people and situations.
Or perhaps you have just suffered a loss, crisis or tragedy that you feel overwhelmed by and unable to cope with. You don't understand why, despite all your best efforts to cope or change, you continue to feel so bad. Psychotherapy is designed to help you make sense of all of these difficulties. Many of the problems you are suffering with in the present are symptoms of underlying unresolved issues from the past.
This may seem hard to accept or believe, however, when you consider that whatever you have tried has not worked to resolve your suffering, that there might be something deeper that is causing you to still be struggling.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is similar to psychoanalysis in its view that emotional difficulties are connected to one's unconscious conflicts.
Psychodynamic therapy is typically more short-term than psychoanalysis, although both address how one's unconscious is contributing to current thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors.
This unconscious is made up of childhood experiences that get internalized, "forgotten", but are enacted repeatedly in adulthood in ways that are sometimes self-defeating or unproductive.

Emotional Intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act.
It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves.
It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions.
Research suggests it is responsible for as much as 80% of the "success" in our lives."

Most, if not all of our trauma occurs in the context of interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, healing would naturally occur in the context of a trusting, safe, reliable relationship.
The building of this new relationship itself provides a "corrective emotional experience".
A skilled therapist makes it safe for you to talk about those things you have either repressed and "forgotten" about, or are too scared or uncomfortable talking about with people in your life.
With the support and guidance of a good therapist, you will come to understand how your past has affected you in the present, you will be able to resolve past traumas that continue to unconsciously play out in your life, and you will feel more content, stable, and generally function far better in all areas of your life.
