Finding therapy can be challenging and sometimes confusing. There are many different types of therapy and a variety of different practitioners available.
The Toronto Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (TPS&I) offer a Referral Service to help you decide whether Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy or Psychoanalysis may suit you. Psychoanalysis is an intensive, long-term therapy that usually occurs three or more times per week, while Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy typically occurs one to two times per week. Psychoanalytic therapy generally seeks to investigate the interaction between unconscious and conscious factors involved in shaping personality, symptom formation, and relationship dynamics. These issues are explored through the close working relationship between therapist/analyst and patient.
If you have any questions, require further information about the services offered, or to speak to the Referral Service for a list of providers accepting new patients, contact the Referral Service at 416-922-7770.
