"When we talk about depth, which I think is so useful to people, we are talking about going beneath surface-level thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which often get labeled as symptoms, in order to understand what is underneath them, what is driving them, and why this is happening for this particular person in this particular moment of their life. It is not just about the what. It is about the why.

Insight, or self-reflection, is another key part of effective therapy. It helps people recognize patterns they may not have been aware of until they sit down with a therapist and begin to see the links. They may realize, for example, that something feels familiar from childhood, or that the same dynamic keeps showing up in each job or relationship. Therapy helps people become aware of those patterns and, importantly, of their own role in them.

It is not just that things are happening to them. It is also that they are participating in patterns they may not yet understand. Once life begins to come into view in that way, it becomes more a matter of choice. People can begin to make different choices when they understand what they are doing."-Linda Michaels

"The slow, nonlinear process of psychoanalysis has been overtaken by symptom-based treatments, like cognitive behavioral therapy, that teach specific skills and can be completed in a matter of months, and by a whole new class of drugs that promise quick, almost miraculous relief. And yet, for those on the lookout, it has been possible to detect a subterranean longing for a more nuanced and psychologically informed understanding of ourselves and the uneasy-making, turbulent world around us — something beyond the facile chatter of pundits and influencers."

Art Therapy with Lizzy Dixon

"I do not see my art therapy practice as separate from my psychoanalytic practice–
patients do not come to see me for either art therapy or talk therapy. In all of my sessions, I have a variety of art materials on hand during sessions that my patients are welcome to use. I tend not to directly invite patients to make art, but some do on their own volition. Other patients make art outside of our sessions and bring it into the consulting room. Some show me images of other artists’ work or describe their encounters with artwork, performance, or music in our sessions. In other treatments, visual art may never enter the work. If, when, and the extent to which patients use art in our work together is up to the patient’s desire."

New psychology research flips the script on happiness and self-control:

“The most important takeaway for the average person is to reconsider how they approach self-improvement,” Jia said. “The common advice is often to ‘just try harder’ or to focus on building discipline through sheer willpower. Our findings suggest a potentially more effective, and certainly more pleasant, alternative: prioritize your well-being to build your self-control.”

Meet Our New Fellow Lizzy!

Lizzy (they/them) is a postgraduate fellow at Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy. They hold a master’s degree in art therapy and counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lizzy is currently pursuing additional psychoanalytic training as a fellow with the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis. Lizzy’s approach to therapy is individualized, attentive, direct, and flexible. Guided by Lacanian psychoanalysis and grounded in social justice, Lizzy offers their patients a space to speak freely about their suffering, history, questions, wishes, fantasies, and desires. They listen carefully for the unconscious in their patients’ speech, focusing on the unique complexity of each patient. Speaking, listening, and being heard in this way opens up new possibilities for ways of relating to oneself and others. This approach works for a wide variety of concerns, including those that are difficult to put into words. Lizzy offers individual art and talk therapy to patients of all ages who are willing to speak about their suffering and learn new things about themselves. Lizzy also provides couples and relationship counseling to partners, exes, and roommates.

To connect with Lizzy, email [email protected].

This restorative model applies to relational therapy as well.

The Social Discipline Window describes four basic approaches to addressing behavior that needs to be changed. Restorative practitioners use this tool to gauge the best response to a specific incident or ongoing issue. The four strategies are represented as different combinations of high or low control and high or low support. The restorative domain combines high expectations of behavior and high support and is characterized by doing things with people, rather than to them or for them. A restorative approach allows us to address the problematic behavior, while also practicing empathy and maintaining a strong relationship.
