Whether you are seeking personal growth, relief from emotional distress, or a deeper understanding of yourself, our skilled therapists are here to walk alongside you with empathy, integrity, and respect.
What Is Jungian Therapy?
Jungian therapy, also known as analytical psychology, is a depth-oriented form of psychotherapy developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Unlike traditional talk therapies, Jungian therapy aims to explore the personal and collective unconscious—the parts of our psyche that influence feelings, dreams, patterns, and behaviors beneath our conscious awareness. Through this process, clients can uncover hidden strengths, resolve inner conflicts, and move toward greater wholeness. For those curious about how our approach is different, see our unique approach page.
How Does Jungian Therapy Work?
The heart of Jungian therapy is the therapeutic relationship, rooted in trust and openness. In each session, you are encouraged to explore your thoughts, dreams, symbols, and stories. Our therapists help you make sense of recurring themes, archetypes, and emotional patterns that may be holding you back. This insight creates pathways for healing old wounds, resolving traumatic experiences, and fostering deep self-acceptance.
- Exploring dreams and their symbolism to access unconscious wisdom
- Active imagination exercises to bring inner images and emotions to the surface
- Identifying and working with archetypes (universal patterns or characters)
- Examining the shadow self—rejected or hidden aspects of personality
- Cultivating the process of individuation (becoming more fully oneself)

Frequently Asked Questions About Jungian Therapy
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy, while rooted in classical psychology, has evolved to incorporate modern insights and scientific research in trauma recovery, neuroscience, and human development. Our therapists integrate Jungian techniques with proven modalities, ensuring you have access to both depth and practical strategies. Find more answers on our FAQ page.
How long does Jungian therapy take?
Journeying into the unconscious is often a longer-term exploration, but every individual’s path is unique. Some clients attend for several months; others benefit from ongoing support. Your therapist will collaboratively set goals and periodically review your progress so you feel supported and empowered.
Will I have to talk about my dreams?
Dream work is a hallmark of Jungian therapy, but it is always your choice. If dream analysis is not meaningful to you, your sessions will be tailored to the approaches that best fit your comfort and goals.
