Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Years of therapy, and nothing has changed

How It Works

Beneath the symptoms

Explore the underlying patterns, unresolved conflicts, and unconscious dynamics that shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

Understanding why

Rooted in psychoanalytic theory and the psychoanalysis tradition, Dr. Tamerin's psychodynamic approach goes beyond symptom relief to help you understand why you feel the way you do.

Your inner world

Through careful exploration of your inner world, including childhood experiences, recurring relationship patterns, and unconscious motivations, we work together to build genuine self-understanding.

Change that lasts

This approach creates lasting change, not just temporary relief.

"I've gotten more results in my first few sessions with Dr. Tamerin than in 30 years of seeing other psychiatrists. He actually listens and understands."
