As a board-certified therapist in private practice, Dr. Lynch offers combined experience in clinical psychology, integrative nutrition, and organizational behavior in providing psychotherapy and consultation.

I believe it’s important for an individual seeking therapy to have the opportunity to meet, ask questions and garner an initial sense of comfort and fit in taking the next step in beginning therapy, I offer a complimentary consultation for that purpose. If I am not a good fit for your needs, I am happy to provide referrals and resources in the community.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

 

Depending on what you hope to gain from therapy, our focus could be weighted more toward the supportive or the exploratory. Psychodynamic psychotherapy happens in the profound space that exists between crises, or the quick fixes of happiness and cathartic sadness. By fostering positive growth of one’s emotional capacities, individuals understand themselves and others in more emotionally nuanced and useful ways. Shifts that occur through this process may include increased tolerance for a wider range of emotions, maintenance of a stable sense of self-esteem, and resilience for when tough things happen.
