Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in Overland Park

Depth-oriented therapy for the Kansas City metro

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis

Psychotherapy is a broad term for talk-based mental health treatment. Psychoanalysis is a specific, in-depth form of psychotherapy that explores unconscious patterns, early experiences, and how they shape current life. Aaron Mitchum is a trained psychoanalyst at Analog Counseling.

Who psychoanalytic work is for

Psychoanalysis suits people who have done shorter therapy and feel ready to go deeper, professionals interested in self-understanding, people with patterns that keep repeating across relationships, and people working through identity, meaning, or significant life transitions.

How psychoanalysis differs from once-a-week therapy

Psychoanalysis usually meets two to four times a week and tends to be longer-term. The frequency allows the work to go deeper than once-weekly therapy. People often work on their relationships, their work, and their sense of self at the same time.

Cost and insurance

Many psychoanalytic clinicians, including Aaron, are out of network. We provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Some psychoanalytic training institutes offer reduced-fee referrals.
