Welcome to Uptown Analytic Practices

We are a group of psychotherapists who have come together with common beliefs about the occurrence, meaning and treatment of psychological issues.  Our educational experiences continue to teach us that most aspects of human suffering can be treated with a kind of therapy, which aims at increasing a person's experience of well-being.  Psychotherapy, also known as psychodynamic or psychoanalytic therapy, is not only the oldest, but also the highest form of treatment that an individual can experience.

We have collectively gathered as individually practicing licensed psychologists and a psychiatrist, in a practice that allows us to collaborate professionally on many cases.  From our experience, we have often viewed the term "mental illness" as an individual's attempt to deal with, cover up, or define something that the psyche has yet to express. 

The work of psychotherapy is at its core, an experience of artistic exploration of the human psyche. The image shadowed behind "Uptown Analytic Practices" was taken from the work of artist L. Sharon Hughes, who entitled the piece Evolve.  This became significant in the creation of Uptown Analytic Practices because we feel that the goal of our work is to help our patients experience themselves, their lives, and their relationships as happier, more fulfilling, and more evolved.
