Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy & Performance Psychology
Why Performance Psychology?
Because performing at our highest level is meaningful and joyful, and to do so we often need to emphasize and fine-tune the psychological aspects of our craft. Doing this is not as easy or as obvious as it might seem; it takes clarity, focus and structure.
Through our work together, clients will learn to get out of their own way, by becoming clear on what they truly need to focus on and pursue in their training and competition. We will establish a comprehensive plan to get you performing at your very best, whether you are an athlete, a musician, a performer or a business executive.
Why Psychoanalysis?
To slow down and listen—to what’s said, what isn’t, and what shows up between us. Symptoms are taken seriously, but not as the whole story; they point to something that wants to be known. We learn to think where thinking has been shut down, to feel what we have grown accustomed to escaping; change and relief arise naturally from greater capacity for understanding.
While insurance companies, institutions and much of the modern world prefers therapies that are easily measurable, trainable and replicable, psychodynamic psychotherapy continuously proves itself to be the gold-standard of personal therapies.
Why remote?
Telehealth lets us prioritize our work together without the same time, commute or geographic constraints as in-person. This makes working together more accessible all while achieving the same results as in-person.
For psychoanalytic therapy, we will establish a working “frame” meeting at the same time, using the same link, in the same room we settle into.
FAQs
Is psychoanalytic work effective online?
Research has continuously borne up the efficacy of online, remote psychotherapy. A recent meta-analysis proved this again, citing it as a “promising treatment.”
How often do we meet?
Session frequency is decided upon during the initial consultation session, and is usually once to three times weekly. Working together more often, and more intensively, allows the work to deepen quickly and naturally, leading to earlier and more robust benefits.
Do you take insurance or provide super bills?
I do not accept insurance; working instead by private pay only. However, at your request, I will send you regular super bills that you can use to bill your insurance provider directly and to seek reimbursement.
