Sheila Cavanagh (She/her)

I am a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and candidate Psychoanalyst at the Lacan School of Psychoanalysis in California. I offer Lacanian analysis to those interested in doing deep analytic work (two or more times per-week). I offer sessions by phone or video, and welcome international analysands. Psychoanalysis involves free association, dream analysis, and making room for your unconscious to speak. Every psychoanalysis is different. But what is special about the Lacanian approach is that it values desire, over diagnosis. It can transform your life, but it takes time, interest in the psychic life of your symptom, and commitment. The work is guided by your desire and I invite you to talk. I listen, ask questions, offer interpretations, and remain committed to the analytic process. I am curious and non-judgmental because you deserve to be treated with respect in a psychoanalytic environment.
