“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.” —Freud, 1900

Accessing the unconscious meanings of our dreams often requires working through them with an other. Here at WILA, our therapists are trained to work with dreams from a psychoanalytic perspective. If you’re interested in getting on the royal road of your own mind, contact us via our link in bio!

If you are in need of additional support in your healing process, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

What many people imagine when they hear “psychoanalysis”.

And yet, there is so much more to it! In our training program, WILA aims to broaden the understanding of what psychoanalysis is, how it can be practiced, and how it can benefit individuals and society at large. We are excited to be starting this process with a new cohort of therapists next week—stay tuned to learn more about them!

Last Monday, WILA held our graduation ceremony for the class of September 2026! 🎓💙

It was an intimate celebration of the therapists who are graduating at the end of this month, as well as those who are transitioning into another year of training with us. WILA is so proud of how far our graduates have come (professionally and personally) in their time with us, and we are excited to see where they go from here! 🦋

Scroll through for a behind the scenes look at our celebration and a special close-up of our only second year graduate, Gregory!

If you free associate to this word, what comes to mind?

For us, it’s the experience of rumination. Rumination involves repetitive, negative thoughts that loop continuously in our mind. Though their intention is to be helpful and/or protective in some way, these thoughts often leave us feeling distressed, mentally and emotionally exhausted, and stuck. Rumination is most often associated with anxiety and obsession/compulsion, but it is not exclusive to these mental states.
