“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Hello! My name is Ilan Igonin. I offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain, or struggling with emotions that seem out of proportion to what’s happening in the moment. My role is to help you make sense of these experiences with compassion and curiosity, so that real and lasting change can take place.
My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, which means I’m interested in how your past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious thoughts continue to shape your life today. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface — the feelings, beliefs, and inner conflicts that might be influencing the way you think, relate, and cope. This kind of therapy isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice; it’s about understanding yourself more fully, so that you can make choices with greater freedom and self-awareness.
“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
In our sessions, I aim to create a warm, authentic connection where you can bring your whole self — the parts that feel confident and capable, as well as the parts that feel lost, hurt, or unsure. I see therapy as a collaborative process: we work together to uncover the patterns that keep you stuck and to build new ways of relating to yourself and others. Over time, clients often find that they feel more grounded, more present, and more able to live in alignment with who they truly are.
If you’re curious about beginning therapy or wondering if this approach might be right for you, I’d be happy to talk and help you get a sense of what working together might feel like.
