Psychoanalysis | Washington, D.C.
Our most persistent difficulties do not respond to quick fixes. Many come to psychoanalysis and therapy sensing that making lasting change takes time, and requires a method that opens a space unique to them. Christopher McCann, Ph.D., conducts online psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy for individuals living in Washington, D.C., providing a structured framework for addressing a wide range of psychological concerns. All sessions take place by telehealth.
“We use language in a way that goes far beyond what is in fact said” (Jacques Lacan).
The Psychoanalytic Method
Psychoanalysis emphasizes the ways self-knowledge arises in an entrusting act of speech addressed to an analyst. It offers a treatment session in which you can come to know and effect change in:
- Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
- Depression and bipolar mood disorders
- Posttraumatic stress disorder, and other trauma-related stress.
- Severe and persistent forms of psychological disorders.
Because this work involves contacting each person’s complex psyche in a meaningful way, sessions occur multiple times per week.
