I am Dr. Laura Adams, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Orange County with private practices in Newport Beach and Mission Viejo,CA.
Using psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I counsel individuals, couples and families who want to address long term problems and patterns.
It is through this kind of personal exploration and counseling that a deeper understanding can be attained and the sense of self can be strengthened. A psychodynamic approach can go below the surface to address difficult emotional problems, improve personal relationships, and stop self- destructive patterns of behavior.
So often, our pasts can interfere with our lives in the present and we find ourselves suffering through the same ongoing pain. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can bring about more permanent results whereas many other forms of treatment tend to provide only a temporary fix.
The therapy and counseling experience takes place in the context of a consistent, supportive relationship that provides the starting place for this kind of depth work.
