Dr. Gardner offers treatment for the following conditions: ºAnxiety ºDepression ºPsychological and psychiatric aspects of physical illness ºRelationship problems (personal and work) ºTraumatic brain injury Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis Psychotherapy and psychoanlysis can improve one's sense of well-being and effectiveness in relationships. They focus on problem solving, skill building, and removing obstacles to psychological growth and development. The type and scope of treatment are determined by, among other factors, the nature of your problems, as well as one's goals and motivation. Psychotherapy can be brief and oriented to problem solving. Or it can, as in longer-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, more comprehensively address deeper, long-standing issues that result in repeated frustration and disappointment in work and personal relationships. "When people experience traumatic events as children, they often have difficulty connecting the threads of their life as adults. It's as if their own timeline is broken, their very continuity. Simply put, psychoanalysis helped me see my whole self and live more parts of my self. Importantly, by healing that estrangement from myself and by helping me to come to terms with my powers and limitations, psychoanalysis helped me take more responsibility for my life which has had significant benefits in both my professional work and my personal relationships."
