Psychoanalysis | Philadelphia, PA

Psychoanalysis is a clinical practice that forges a unique kind of relationship. This relationship is the ground on which the spoken exchanges that can prompt us to change our lives take place. Christopher McCann, Ph.D., a candidate psychoanalyst, offers online psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy by telehealth to individuals living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Benefits of Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis explores the underlying connections between thoughts, emotions, memories, dreams, fantasies, and much more, and may be useful for individuals who want to examine:

• Repetitive patterns in relationships
• Lived experiences of trauma of different kinds
• Long-standing psychological problems

“He who is not in love with his own unconscious goes astray” (Lacan, 1974).

Psychoanalytic Treatment Options

Psychoanalytic therapy applies psychoanalytic practice to a once weekly treatment format. Christopher McCann, Ph.D., offers a distinct approach grounded in psychoanalytic practice.

Lacanian Psychoanalysis

I am a candidate psychoanalyst with the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis. You are invited to say whatever comes to mind, however trivial or unwelcome it may seem. In that free ranging speech, something unexpected tends to surface: a dream, an idiosyncratic twist of a word, slip of the tongue, or a thought you did not expect to have.
