Create change with psychodynamic therapy
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely tried to change. You’ve read the self-help books, you know what you should do, yet you keep getting stuck in the same frustrating patterns:
The cycle of choosing partners who are emotionally unavailable.
The overwhelming anxiety that flares up when you try to speak your truth.
The feeling of burnout that hits just as you’re on the brink of success.
The deep sense of “not enough” that whispers (or screams) in the quiet moments.
At My Denver Therapy, we understand this isn’t about lack of effort. It’s about unconscious roots. We offer compassionate, depth-oriented Psychodynamic Therapy in Denver to move you beyond managing symptoms and toward truly healing the core of who you are.
What is psychodynamic therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy is a powerful, evidence-based form of talk therapy that digs beneath the surface of your immediate problems. While many therapies focus on changing what you do (your behaviors and thoughts), we focus on understanding the history and the emotion that drives you.
Rooted in the understanding that our earliest relationships and experiences shape our present responses, psychodynamic work helps you connect the dots between your past and your present.
It’s not just about what happened, but how it lives in you today.
It is not psychoanalysis; it is a collaborative, modern approach often done once a week to achieve profound, lasting change.
What we focus on
Recurring Patterns: You break free from self-sabotage and relational cycles.
Unconscious Drivers: You understand why you react the way you do, reducing self-blame.
Defense Mechanisms: You swap coping strategies (like perfectionism or people-pleasing) for true vulnerability and authenticity.
The Therapeutic Relationship: You heal old relational wounds in the safety of the present-day connection with your therapist
Is Psychodynamic Counseling Right For You in Denver?
This approach is uniquely effective for individuals in Denver who are ready for deep, lasting change, not just a quick fix. You may benefit most if you struggle with:
Long-Standing Anxiety & Depression: When surface-level coping hasn’t relieved the heavy weight of sadness or worry.
Chronic Relationship Issues: You find yourself perpetually disappointed, lonely, or struggling to maintain secure, healthy attachments.
Persistent Self-Esteem and Identity Questions: The struggle to know your worth, set boundaries, or simply feel “enough.”
The Weight of Old Wounds: You know your childhood or past trauma affects you, but you haven’t found a way to truly process and move past the lingering pain.
Feeling Unfulfilled or Lost (The Existential Question): You’re successful, but you’re searching for purpose and meaning beyond your achievements.
Your depth-oriented journey starts here
Finding a therapist in Denver who is truly skilled in psychodynamic work matters. Our therapist Anne Giles provides an experience that is intentional, warm, and highly professional:
Expert Integration: Our therapists blend psychodynamic principles with modern attachment theory, ensuring the work is practical, grounded, and focused on helping you build better relationships right now.
Focus on the Whole Self: We won’t just talk about the past. We honor the connections between your mind, body, and emotions—helping you feel more integrated and whole as you navigate the pressures of life in the Mile High City.
A Safe Container: We believe, like Brené Brown, that shame cannot survive being spoken and met with empathy. We provide a consistently non-judgmental space where you can bring all your stories—including the ones you’ve buried—and finally process them safely.
Other Specialties
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
