Dr Patricia Kay Antin

Psychoanalyst

“I am a seasoned, always open, always learning from and with my patients Psychoanalyst.”

About Me

As a seasoned Psychoanalyst, I offer a deeply open and collaborative space for self-discovery. My practice centres on learning alongside each patient. This allows for a unique, evolving understanding of your inner world. I help you explore long-standing patterns and unconscious influences. This approach suits those seeking profound personal insight and a responsive partner for lasting change.

Approach

Always open and curious, I move between attentive listening and gentle interpretation to help make sense of patterns that have felt invisible. In my Los Angeles office we speak English, setting a calm pace that matches your needs and allows space for pauses, memories and surprises to emerge. Sessions tend to mix close attention to feelings with reflection on recurring ways of relating, and I often suggest brief experiments or focused reflections between visits to test new possibilities. This way of working often suits people seeking deep self-understanding and steady change.
