Q. What is ISTDP?
ISTDP stands for Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. It’s a powerful and focused approach that helps uncover the emotional patterns — often unconscious — that can keep us stuck in anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties.
Rather than just managing symptoms, ISTDP gently and collaboratively helps you get to the heart of what’s going on underneath. Through this process, you can start to feel more connected to yourself, more free in your relationships, and more grounded in your life.
Everyone’s pace is different, and this approach respects each person’s readiness and capacity. The work is not about pushing - it’s about making space for real, meaningful change.
