About Dr. Hamerling

Don’t let the stereotypes about analytic therapists being remote, intellectual and uninvolved put you off. In fact, my strong background in psychoanalytic theory gives me a solid conceptual foundation from which to understand you more meaningfully and help you more completely. Far from being remote, I collaborate with you in a very warm, interactive and supportive manner. I will be your guide, your mentor, your advocate and your partner in your effort to achieve your goals.
