When insight isn’t enough—and real change is what you’re seeking
Many people who seek therapy are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet remain stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns. Even with prior therapy or strong insight, meaningful change can feel out of reach.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is designed for this stage of work. Treatment focuses on understanding and transforming unconscious emotional and relational patterns that continue to shape thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. As these patterns are worked through within the therapeutic relationship, change becomes more stable, flexible, and enduring.

Hi, I’m Thomas Day
I’m a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern in Nevada, specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (ages 15+). I approach this work with care and respect for the complexity of each client’s experience.
A Psychodynamic Approach
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and object relations theory, with close attention to attachment patterns, unconscious dynamics, and the therapeutic relationship as a central mechanism for change.
I work with individuals navigating:
- Trauma and PTSD, including complex and developmental trauma
- Personality disorders and long-standing relational patterns
- Relationship and attachment difficulties
- Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and identity concerns
Over time, clients often experience reduced symptom intensity, improved relationships, and a greater capacity for emotional range and self-understanding.

Trauma & PTSD Therapy
Trauma can shape emotional responses, relationships, and self-perception long after the original threat has passed. Symptoms may include hypervigilance, emotional numbing, relational avoidance, or difficulty regulating affect.
Psychodynamic trauma therapy focuses on restoring emotional safety while addressing the internal and relational patterns that maintain distress—particularly in cases of complex or developmental trauma. Treatment proceeds at your pace while supporting integration and lasting change.

Personality Patterns & Repetitive Dynamics
Some concerns are less about isolated symptoms and more about patterns that repeat across relationships, careers, and even with how we experience our sense of self. These patterns often develop early and typically operate outside of conscious awareness.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps clarify how these patterns formed, how they function in the present, and how they can shift. The focus is not on labels, but on increasing flexibility, emotional integration, and choice.
