Dr. Hannah Nystrom is a Clinical Psychologist currently working on-line, and with an office in Berkeley, CA. Dr. Nystrom works with adults and couples in weekly psychotherapy. She also practices psychoanalytic psychotherapy, where meetings are held more frequently than once weekly. Dr. Nystrom believes this more intensive approach can be useful for very entrenched issues, including personality disorders, that have not responded to other treatment approaches, and for people with a deep desire to understand themselves.
Dr. Nystrom's clients are often high functioning professionals on the outside but deeply troubled on the inside. These troubles include relationship problems, work issues, depression, substance abuse, and/or the cloud of difficult childhoods, including neglect and trauma. Dr. Nystrom has been working and training to help people for over twenty years, and balances her extensive clinical experience with the value of staying current, and always learning more about what interventions people are finding most helpful in the work now.
Dr. Nystrom’s approach is psychodynamic and psychoanalytic in nature. It is her experience that the relationship between the client and therapist is the pillar of successful treatment. That said, with a solid working relationship established, the work focuses on the client, and helping the client both understand what's happening in their life in more useful ways, and go on to make the changes that are wanted and usually needed.
Dr. Nystrom received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. She is an advanced candidate in Psychoanalysis at PINC. She has a wealth of experience in diverse clinical settings. She believes a quality therapy (not quick fix!) can help people get on the right track to feeling better, and living more meaningful lives. She believes therapy is often hard work but also can be joyful, even celebratory.
