What can psychodynamic therapy treat?

Rula therapists and psychiatric providers trained in psychodynamic therapy are experts in treating a wide range of conditions.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Psychodynamic therapy helps individuals explore what’s behind distressing thoughts and behaviors, and is especially effective when combined with other treatments.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Psychodynamic therapy can illuminate how OCD symptoms may be protecting a person from uncomfortable feelings like uncertainty or insecurity.

Depression

Working with a therapist longer-term allows patients to safely express emotions and reexamine past experiences that influence their current symptoms.

Anxiety

Psychodynamic therapy helps patients understand the root causes of anxiety, notice behavior patterns, and manage emotions more effectively.

Eating disorders

Psychodynamic therapy looks at the emotions and relationship dynamics tied to food, helping patients cultivate a more balanced connection with it.

Personality disorders

Psychodynamic therapy helps individuals process emotions behind difficult thoughts and replace unhelpful habits with more positive behaviors.
