Jacques Lacan
In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the cure entails putting words to experiences that have led to various forms of sufferings, patterns, and distress related to specific relevant contexts in one life. It is also, as Freud states, a place where one is able to get "inaccordance with their complexes", rather than fight them. I facilitate a curative process by providing my patients with a confidential, facilitative, and respectful space where they are strongly encouraged to speak openly on matters that would not be possible in other mental health contexts.
Who should go to a Lacanian?
Those who feel they are in a place in their lives to address long-standing personal challenges and barriers that behavioral forms of therapy and/or medication have only helped them 'manage'. I work best with those who are committed to addressing their reasons for seeking therapy at a deeper and unconcious level, with the intention of removing barriers relative to their deeply important personal goals in areas such as work, family, and school. This means, patients, with all sorts of different 'symptoms' are welcomed in Lacanian psychoanalysis, granted that they wish to address things at a level beyond managing them.
