Helping individuals and relationships move beyond entrenched patterns toward greater self-understanding, emotional freedom, and a more coherent sense of self.

​

Dr. Nancy Vanderheide is a depth-oriented relational psychoanalyst whose work integrates relational, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches to psychotherapy. Her work also draws on contemporary therapeutic methods while maintaining a holistic perspective that attends to the mind, body, and spirit of each person she works with.

​

Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, clients often find themselves relieved of burdens that have been limiting their sense of possibility and discover new feelings of strength, creativity, and self-coherence.

The Work

Many people come to therapy believing that psychotherapy simply means talking about childhood.

​

While our earliest relationships do influence how we come to understand ourselves and others, therapy does not require lengthy excavation of the past.

​

What remains from early experiences tends to live on in patterns of expectation, emotional reactions, and habitual ways of thinking about ourselves and others.

​

In therapy, these patterns often emerge naturally in the present moment, within relationships, experiences, and reactions that occur in everyday life. By exploring these patterns in a thoughtful and supportive context, clients can begin to recognize what has been shaping their experience and discover new possibilities for responding differently.
