A doctor in clinical psychology working in private practice since 2011, David Steinbok specializes in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. In addition, Dr. David Steinbok provides psychotherapy to individuals and couples and allows clients to speak freely through psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on interpreting the person’s mental and emotional processes. It is rooted in Freud’s traditional psychoanalysis and aims to address the foundation and development of psychological processes. Due to its inherent goal to change an aspect of the client’s identity or personality, psychodynamic therapy typically requires a long-term treatment of at least two years.
However, some practitioners believe that there are changes that can happen more rapidly through brief psychodynamic therapy, which can also trigger an ongoing process of transformation that does not require constant intervention from the therapist. Brief psychodynamic therapy can help clients with a wide range of psychological disorders, such as substance abuse disorders, especially when combined with other treatment approaches. A central concept of this type of psychodynamic therapy is that sessions should focus on one area, and this focus is established during the first two sessions after a conversation between therapist and client.
