Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Therapy in Newport Beach
Psychoanalysis in Newport Beach
As a licensed psychologist in Newport Beach, Dr. Aaron Montgomery provides psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy for individuals seeking deep, lasting change.
What Is Psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis is a form of intensive talk therapy that explores the unconscious mind—the hidden thoughts, feelings, and patterns that shape how we live and relate to others. Developed from the work of Freud and refined by modern clinical practice, psychoanalysis in Newport Beach creates space for profound self-discovery and transformation.
Unlike short-term, symptom-focused approaches, psychoanalytic therapy aims to uncover and resolve the deeper causes of emotional struggles, leading to long-term growth, freedom, and authenticity.
What to Expect in Psychoanalysis
In psychoanalysis, you are encouraged to speak freely about your thoughts, dreams, emotions, and daily experiences. Together, we uncover connections between past and present that often bring relief and new understanding. This process goes beyond symptom relief—it supports genuine, lasting change.
What Psychoanalysis Helps With
Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy are especially helpful for:
Anxiety, depression, and chronic dissatisfaction
Relationship conflicts and repeated patterns
Trauma, grief, and unresolved emotional pain
Identity struggles, self-esteem issues, and creative blocks
Frequency and Duration of Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis usually involves meeting three to four times per week, with each session lasting 50 minutes. Because it works at the deepest levels of the psyche, psychoanalysis is often a longer-term process designed for meaningful and lasting results.
Fees for Psychoanalysis
Sessions are $250 each, with a sliding scale available upon request to make psychoanalysis in Orange County more accessible.
