Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ about working together

How is Jungian therapy different from other modalities?
Jungian psychology is based on depth psychological approaches where the therapist takes a non-directive and collaborative approach with the client to foster mutual psychological exploration. Our goal is to allow the unconscious material to emerge to guide the therapeutic process.

How is this different from CBT?
In CBT and other behavioral approaches, the therapist takes on the position of an expert to guide the client through a theoretical framework in order to help the client solve their problems and work through cognitive distortions.

How can the unconscious be accessed in Jungian work?
We can work with the unconscious through various means such as dream interpretation, active imagination, and shadow work.

What is Jungian psychotherapy good for?
Individuals come seeking Jungian therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may have familiarity with Jung or Jungian or related ideas, such as shadow work, or MBTI (Myers-Briggs typology), and want to experience these ideas for themselves. Other individuals are simply seeking help to relieve suffering or other distressing symptoms. Oftentimes, clients may have tried other therapeutic modalities or other types of interventions. Jungian analysis is suited for existential, relational, and spiritual issues. It can also be used to treat traditional diagnoses such as anxiety or depression. Regardless of the reasons you may have, if you feel that this might be the right fit for you, please reach out to me to give Jungian therapy a try.

Do you prescribe medications?
As a psychiatrically trained clinician, I am able to prescribe medications when appropriate. Please discuss your individual situation with me.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept major PPO plans. Please send an inquiry with your insurance information. Please note that using insurance will require a diagnosis of a mental disorder.

Are you able to see clients outside of US?
Depending on where you are located, I may be able to see you in a Jungian coaching capacity. Please contact me so that I can check the regulations in your area for my ability to work together.
