Meet Gwendolyn: Your Partner in Healing

My name is Gwendolyn, and I have been a practicing psychoanalyst since 2008. Originally from Montreal, Canada, I immigrated to New York City to pursue my dream of becoming a therapist in Manhattan. Today, I am proud to see that dream realized.

My Professional Journey

Before embarking on my journey as a psychoanalyst, I worked in Child Welfare in Westminster, London, England, where I was immersed in the realities of acute childhood trauma and emotional impoverishment. This hands-on experience inspired me to pursue advanced trauma training. Upon my return to the United States, I completed a five-year degree in psychoanalysis at the National Institute of Psychotherapies in NYC.

The Unique Path of a Psychoanalyst

In addition to my academic training, I understood the importance of personal analysis in my professional growth. Unlike other mental health practitioners, psychoanalysts are mandated to undergo their own analysis three to four times a week. This rigorous process deepens our understanding of the complexities of the human psyche and enhances our ability to effectively help clients.
(Psychologists and psychiatrists who are medically trained are not required to be in therapy during training).

Comprehensive Experience

Throughout my education, I also worked at an inpatient facility for substance abuse and alcoholism, gaining insights into dependency and addiction. Today, I offer specialized services in trauma therapy, specifically EMDR, and couples counseling using the transformative Terry Real method known as RLT.

Continuous Growth and Commitment

I am committed to continuously elevating my practice with the latest training and methodologies. I invite you to join me as a partner in consciousness-raising and personal growth. While my skills and techniques may adapt and evolve over time, my unwavering commitment to establishing a secure foundational attachment remains constant. A safe and secure base is fundamental to the transformative power of effective therapy.
