Psychodynamic Therapy in Philadelphia, PA

You may recognize a pattern in your life without fully understanding why it continues. Perhaps certain relationship conflicts keep resurfacing, anxiety appears at pivotal moments, or a difficult transition has unsettled your sense of direction. Through psychodynamic therapy with Dr. Christopher McCann, adults in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have a focused way to examine the deeper emotional dynamics contributing to present-day difficulties.

How Does Psychodynamic Therapy Work?

Psychodynamic therapy draws from psychoanalytic thinking while concentrating our work around particular concerns or recurring patterns. Instead of approaching distress as a collection of symptoms to eliminate, we’ll pay attention to your personal history, relationships, emotions, and ways of responding to difficult situations.

Therapy is collaborative and individualized. What emerges in our conversations helps us identify connections that previously went unnoticed, including unconscious conflicts that may influence how you relate to yourself and others. Because this work has a more defined focus, it can be particularly useful when a current problem has brought you to therapy.

Depth-Oriented Expertise in a Focused Format

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Pennsylvania and a Candidate Lacanian Psychoanalyst with the Lacan School of Psychoanalysis. My specialized psychoanalytic training informs how I listen to your individual experiences rather than applying a predetermined set of techniques. I work with adults experiencing concerns such as:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Relationship issues

  • Burnout

  • Complex trauma

  • Significant changes

Psychodynamic therapy gives us an opportunity to question what may be driving your distress and consider possibilities for change that are personally meaningful to you.
