How do I find a good low fee psychoanalyst? Psychoanalytic institutes frequently offer low-fee psychoanalysis through their clinics. The American Psychoanalytic Associationhas a list of institutes on their web page. Call an institute in the city in which you live and ask if they offer low fee psychoanalyses. Often candidates, in psychoanalytic training, offer low fee psychoanalysis. If you do not live in a major city, call the institute nearest to you. They may have analysts and/or analysts-in-training in your city.

Should I see someone in training for psychoanalysis?

This is a good question. To be eligible for psychoanalytic training, generally as a minimum, one must complete: a doctorate in clinical psychology or counseling psychology, a medical degree and a psychiatric residency, a masters in social work, or some other advanced mental health training. In fact, sometimes, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and others, enter psychoanalytic training with significant experience. The best way to clarify your analyst's background is to ask about it directly.
