My therapist is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic. She has several certificates in psychoanalysis and that is how I found her. I wanted an analytically oriented therapist, so I contacted the psychoanalytic institute near me for a referral. We meet twice a week, we sit facing one another, and she is not a silent blank slate. I love the depth work, even though it is hard for me, but any kind of therapy would be hard for me because I am very guarded.
