Welcome -

I'm Jason Reynolds, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 15 years of clinical experience working with adults across community mental health, intensive outpatient, and private practice settings.

My practice today focuses on psychoanalytic psychotherapy — a form of therapy that allows for deeper exploration of the emotional and relational patterns that shape our lives.

About

Beginning with Curiosity

“Why do certain patterns in life keep repeating -
even when you understand them?”

If that question feels familiar, you're probably someone who already thinks carefully about your life. And yet something keeps repeating — in relationships, in mood, in a quiet sense that things aren't quite right.

You might recognize:

  • Anxiety or overthinking that never fully settles

  • A persistent sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction

  • Feeling stuck despite insight, effort, or previous therapy

  • Relationships that seem to follow the same painful script

The difficulty usually isn't lack of awareness. Some of what shapes us most operates beneath it — rooted in earlier experiences and relationships we may not think to examine. Psychodynamic therapy creates space to explore that, carefully and honestly, over time.

How This Work Helps

Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, depth-oriented therapy aims to understand the underlying dynamics that give rise to recurring difficulties. Sessions create room for emotional themes to emerge gradually — through present concerns, early memories, relationship patterns, even what arises in the therapy itself.

This is reflective, unhurried work. The goal isn't a quick fix, but a deeper understanding of your emotional life and more lasting change.
