Dr Sydney Arkowitz

Licensed Psychologist

“experienced psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, and consultant working with all types of anxiety, depression, work and relationship problems”

About Me

I provide a confidential space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or challenges at work and in relationships. As an experienced psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I help clients explore underlying patterns and gain valuable insight into their difficulties. My approach supports you in developing clearer strategies for lasting change. Those seeking a deeper understanding of their inner world and external struggles will find this a suitable place.

Approach

Sessions offer a confidential space where I guide focused exploration and quieter reflection, tracing recurring patterns that underlie anxiety, depression, work stress and relationship strain. In my Tucson office or by secure online meeting, we pace sessions to balance noticing feeling and making sense of it, using psychodynamic listening alongside targeted consultation to test new ways of relating. Between sessions I may suggest brief experiments or reflective notes to carry insights into daily life. This approach often suits adults and couples seeking deeper clarity and practical shifts.
