Psychotherapy is a process of doing more in depth, "intra-psychic" work. This therapy is used by many who want to create deep and lasting personal change in their life. It's not only thoughts or behaviors or crises that are addressed. It may be about deep unhappiness in life; sexual identity; a sense of emptiness; dreams; long ago traumas or loss. The enduring benefit is a greater self understanding and new confidence in becoming a more authentic, genuine self in the world.

"Psychotherapy is the informed and intentional application of clinical methods and interpersonal stances derived from established psychological principles for the purpose of assisting people to modify their behaviors, cognitions, emotions, and/or other personal characteristics in directions that the participants deem desirable" (Norcross, 1990, p. 218-220 ) We use Freudian-based theories, object relations, attachment theories and self-psychology to assist our clients in identifying and understanding the underlying issues that may color their current relationships.

Family therapists are not generally thought of as psychodynamic in nature. As a Bowenian therapist, however, I have a strong affinity for the psychotherapeutic approaches. As such, I believe that the family unit, and by default the individual members of the family system, are deeply affected by the intergenerational patterns that repeat over multiple generations. Identifying these patterns and evaluating their effect on family members offers key insights about how and why the family functions as it does. Schedule your assessment at Chrysalis Connections and begin the process of constructing your genogram, or family map, and locate the unique intergenerational patterns of your family.
