Prof Jerome Blackman
Psychoanalyst
“Assessment of major functions, capacities, conflicts and defenses takes up the initial valuation. Identification of symptoms, major themes and personality problems is followed by understanding how they operate and what is causing them. Reintegration and change should follow with insight.”
About Me
I offer a space for deep exploration, helping individuals understand the complex, often unseen patterns that influence their lives. My comprehensive background as a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, alongside my academic roles, informs a rigorous yet compassionate approach. We can work together to uncover underlying dynamics, fostering profound self-awareness. This depth suits those seeking a thorough understanding of themselves and their experiences, leading to lasting personal growth.
Approach
That space becomes a setting where careful assessment of patterns and defenses gives shape to therapy, turning insight into practical steps. In my Virginia Beach office or via secure video, sessions in English, French, Mandarin or Spanish are paced deliberately to track recurring themes. We focus on identifying triggers, exploring underlying narratives, and testing new ways of relating both in-session and through reflective work between meetings. Those wrestling with anxiety, relationships, identity or parenting often find this method clarifying and sustaining.
