Dr Jaime Yasky

My approach
I have extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which is the main type of therapy I offer.
The idea of psychoanalytic therapy is to work collaboratively to resolve your difficulties by better understanding the reasons behind them. Some assumptions that inform my work are:
– Despite our best intentions and efforts, many of our emotional difficulties spring from reactions and patterns learned early in life we unknowingly repeat in the present. A therapy can help us become aware of and untangle these patterns, allowing us to recover a greater degree of liberty and control over our emotional life.
– Much of who we are as grown-ups, both the good and the bad, is based on lessons we learned in early life relationships. A good therapeutic relationship can be a privileged space to explore how these influences shape our present relationships and life.
Supervision
I offer supervision to psychologists and other mental health professionals. I offer a reflective space to think through your clinical and psychotherapeutic work, to understand psychological and relational dynamics playing out in the treatment, so you can learn from your experience and be in better position to help others. I have a special interest in some topics such as somatic presentations, indication and strategic planning of treatment in complex cases, management of risk, and mentoring.
My clinical work in diverse public, private and university settings, teaching at postgraduate level in the field of psychotherapy, and my personal experience in different countries and cultures, give me an ample perspective to help colleagues.
