Dr. Iracleous’s therapeutic approach varies based on your individual needs. She is psychodynamic and depth psychology-oriented which means she tends to pay attention to unconscious psychological processes. Her work involves supporting you in making you aware of the things you cannot notice or see through noting body language, verbal and nonverbal cues, analyzing dreams and fantasies, and even exploring that which emerges within the therapeutic relationship as potentially reflective of other relationships in your life.
