Depth Psychology

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

C.G. Jung

Depth psychology strives to bring meaning, imagination, symbolism, and newfound awareness to our journeys towards healing and personal growth.

Depth psychology is a therapeutic approach to the whole person—conscious and unconscious, body and mind, feeling and thinking, waking and dream life. Depth work supports individual development by exploring unfamiliar ways of knowing ourselves and others. In the words of Carl Jung: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are.”

The work focuses on assisting each person in discovering their uniqueness, exploring areas that are less developed in their personality, and dealing with unconscious material. A frequent outcome of depth therapy is increased self-awareness. Those who are experiencing difficulty understanding their life purpose, are in transition, are stuck in negative patterns or trauma, or feel as if something is missing or stuck often gain insight into their unconscious conditioning. As a result, many people feel a greater sense of self, agency, and liberation. These aims are explored by building the therapeutic relationship, dream interpretation, and facing the shadowy sides ourselves.

The reward of this approach is both inner and outer. It helps us live our passions and achieve success, develop a symbolic way of looking at the world, and have more compassion and understanding for ourselves and those around us. Most of all, its reward is personal development and awareness. Through depth work, we come to know the ardor, expansiveness and potential that comes from a relationship to the mysteries of the inner world.
