Hello, I'm Dr. Derrick Hassert, currently a candidate at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis. As a therapist I seek to build a collaborative bond with patients in order to work together to achieve better mental health. I have previous training in interpersonal psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology, and training in transference focused psychotherapy through Columbia University's Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.

I've been in clinical practice now for about 10 years, and in that time I have gained experience in addressing issues related to strong emotions (such as anger, stress, anxiety and depression--what is now often referred to as "affect regulation"), interpersonal and developmental trauma, the application of effective parenting techniques, couples counseling, and helping clients through life transitions such as career change, divorce, and retirement.
