Although I have an extensive training in different psychotherapy modalities (CBT, EFT, ACT, CPT), for the past few years I have been specializing in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy or ISTDP.
ISTDP is based on the principle that an intellectual grasp of one’s problems is not enough to cure them. ISTDP is a type of emotion focused treatment designed to work on a deeply experiential level, and transformative change often occurs in a relatively short period of time. In fact, ISTDP is frequently used to treat people whose persistent symptoms have not resolved in the course of other therapies or with medication.
As the name suggests, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (or ISTDP) is a powerful, accelerated form of psychotherapy designed to rapidly uncover and resolve deep emotional and psychological difficulties. ISTDP is evidence-based, and research has shown it to be a uniquely effective treatment for people suffering from depression, anxiety, and a broad spectrum of personality disorders and self-defeating behaviors.
