Clinical Services
Individual Counseling
Personalized therapeutic support for adults navigating emotional pain, stress, or life changes. We move beyond surface-level symptoms to explore the unique personal history, internal conflicts, and relational dynamics that define your world, helping you achieve a more profound and authentic engagement with your life and those within it.
Working with Trauma & Dissociation
Expert care for PTSD, complex trauma, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. I focus on safety, affect management, and processing traumatic memory. Dr. Hirshfeld’s Lacanian orientation places particular emphasis on subjectivity, unconscious processes, desire, repetition, and the meanings through which traumatic experience becomes organized.
Analytic Work
Psychoanalysis provides a dedicated space to investigate the unconscious forces and historical patterns that dictate your current reality. Guided by the Lacanian school, Dr. Hirshfeld prioritizes your individual voice, helping you decode the repetitions and identifications that persist beneath your symptoms, ultimately opening new pathways for desire and personal transformation.
EMDR Method
I utilize EMDR as a targeted tool within a comprehensive therapeutic framework to process traumatic events. My approach adapts this modality specifically for those navigating dissociative states and complex history, ensuring the protocol serves the person's unique needs rather than being applied as a generic formula.
Couples Counseling
Facilitating a deeper understanding for pairs facing recurring friction or emotional distance. Our sessions look past immediate arguments to uncover the foundational attachment styles, unconscious expectations, and systemic patterns that influence the bond, fostering a space for genuine communication and relational repair.
Family Systems
Addressing the intricate webs of communication and conflict that exist within family units. We work to identify intergenerational influences and unhealthy dynamics while building more resilient ways to connect, ensuring every member feels heard as the family navigates transitions or heals from shared distress.
Integrated Psychoanalytic Care
My practice bridges foundational psychoanalytic insights with modern trauma-focused expertise. I don't see symptoms as problems to be solved, but as entries into your individual story. By attending to the unconscious and the ways history lives in the body, I provide a compassionate, measured pace that honors the complexity of your identity without simplifying your experience into clinical labels.
Everything in our work is tailored to your specific threshold and goals, combining stabilization techniques with deep exploration. We focus on reclaiming your sense of self and developing the capacity to hold difficult memories safely, ensuring the process is deeply respectful and intellectually rigorous.
