Psychoanalysis vs. Psychotherapy

At Hollywood Psychotherapy, we distinguish between traditional psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. While formal psychoanalysis traditionally requires at least three sessions per week, few people today can manage that level of commitment. At Hollywood Psychotherapy, we believe that psychoanalytically informed therapy is the next best thing to traditional psychoanalysis, offering a valuable alternative for those unable to engage in the full process. We have found that patients can benefit from psychoanalytic listening and make progress even when attending sessions only once or twice a week.

If you’re curious about how this kind of work might apply to you, starting a conversation is often the first step.
