What is Psychodynamic Therapy?
Psychodynamic Therapy is a format of in-depth talk therapy that explores the unconscious thoughts, early life experiences, and emotional patterns that shape our present behaviors and struggles. It's not just about treating signs — it's about understanding the source causes of mental health challenges.
At Calida Rehab, Psychodynamic Therapy is used to help clients gain deep insight into themselves, improve relationships, and break long-standing emotional patterns. Guided by highly trained therapists, this process encourages self-awareness, emotional clarity, and sustainable change.
