Jungian Therapists in Ventura, CA

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." ~ Carl Jung. Do you feel overwhelmed, have pain, grief, anxiety, depression, or unseen shadows that prevent you from healing or from choosing better decisions, relationships, and allowing yourself to matter in your own life? My experience and education can help people hungering for more purpose, fulfillment, and nurturing relationships instead of dissonance, exhaustion, and sacrifice, those who know what you were aiming for, but discovered you’re at the top of the wrong ladder. If you feel like you’re different or unseen, then I may be the psychotherapist you’ve sought.

Hello! I'm glad you are here. As a warm and humorous therapist, I work with clients of all ages who struggle with things like anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as others.

Dr. Nye is a holistic psychotherapist and has worked extensively with couples and individuals. She is interactive, empathetic and directive. Her goal is to help client's find meaning in their pain, gain personal insight, make healthy life decisions and new methods for living. Dr. Nye has a compassionate, yet straightforward approach. Depending on her client's needs she helps them develop understanding regarding the origin of their pain then focuses on solution strategies.

I am enthusiastic to work with individuals and couples who are curious about themselves, want to cultivate insight, and are motivated to make changes. Through listening and tending to neuroses, compulsions and addictions, mood issues, interpersonal problems, creative blocks, dreams, spiritual experiences and synchronicities, disruptive psychological symptoms can not only be reduced, but understood for a more meaningful, tolerant, and enriching life.

Hello, thank you for finding me on Psychology Today. Much of my work is with children, adolescents, families (parenting) and adult individuals. I have experience working with trauma, abuse, grief, loss, long term illness, anxiety, depression, ADHD and other childhood emotional disorders. I view my clients in a holistic sense, taking into consideration their symptoms, life stressors, emotional/physical developmental changes/stages, past/recent trauma(s), family dynamics, parenting styles from childhood -past/present, as well as coping skills and interpersonal relationships and support systems.

Hello and thanks for looking up my profile. I am a licensed psychologist, a professor of psychology, and a frequent speaker....I am both a clinician and an academic. I am strongly psychodynamically oriented, influenced by both psychoanalytic (in the intersubjective tradition) and Jungian styles. I work well with articulate, curious, and thoughtful people who take their internal lives seriously...or who want to learn to do so. Good therapy with high functioning people is often more about surrendering and unlearning than "trying to change." I encourage moral courage, self-expression and meaning-making.

By now you’ve likely read countless therapist bios and blurbs. Allow me to respect your time by not soliciting your life with generic compassion. After all, it is the problem of 'time' that could very well be leading you to browse this website. Maybe you're stuck in wherever you are. Maybe your life pushes you too quickly, leaving you with little more than a decreasing sense of orientation. A vague part of yourself might feel as-if behind you, back in your past, pleading for your attention. Together in our work we would hold these kinds of afflictions with earnestness and care by imagining who of yourself is wanted by such problems.

It's possible to access your inner wisdom and feel a sense of safety and belonging in this world; to hear your soul's calling and respond; to live into your deepest truths. When change is desired, the psychotherapy process transforms overwhelming fears, frustrations, and responsibilities into guides that keep one true to one's authentic path. I am here to journey with you; to help you create a place for your most sacred aspects of self so that you can feel more connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.

Conflicts and feelings can challenge and confuse us: sadness, anxiety, depression, family, business and relational issues, creative blocks, and aging. I value helping you navigate these deeper concerns in a caring and safe environment; working together to develop a meaningful relationship with your self and others.

The psyche strives to maintain a balance between opposing qualities while at the same time actively seeking its own development or as C.G. Jung called it, individuation. My goal is to help you reach a balance in life, to help identify symptoms. You may be struggling with Insomnia, depression, anxiety, loss, or negative patterns impacting daily life. My goal is to find purpose within yourself by seeing symptoms as symbols of deeper meaning. Within a safe therapeutic container of non-judgement, narrative therapy, dreams, creativity, and direction we can increase your awareness of desires, fears, patterns, and strengths together.

Life can be overwhelming. Ongoing problems can leave us frustrated and defeated. Anxiety, depression, trauma, drug and alcohol dependence, relationship conflict, or isolation make it even harder to cope. The joy and spirit of life that we once had seems far gone. We may feel like we've been holding it together for weeks, months, or even years. At our lowest we lose perspective and believe things will never change. We don't want to be this way anymore. Life shouldn't feel this hard.

Does your relationship feel terribly one-sided, with you constantly making sacrifices for someone without getting much in return? Often, when you wrap your life around someone else, accepting unacceptable circumstances to keep the relationship together, it can be emotionally exhausting and profoundly destructive. So, how do you change things when life is so challenging and you're alone in your efforts to fix it; when you feel completely responsible for the well-being of others at the cost of your peace of mind? Therapy is the best next step when your own efforts haven't worked out.

Stepping out of your daily life to spend time in a welcoming and peaceful environment can change how you make your way in the world. Telling your story to an attuned therapist can help you hear your own truth in a new way—or even for the first time. The changes you seek will likely soon follow.

The experiences we move through in life are complex; the balance of thought, emotion, and sensation is delicate. Life experiences create a pattern that we will unconsciously replay, often leading to symptoms and suffering. In order to break an unhealthy pattern, we must first become aware of the traumas, influences, and beliefs that create this paradigm. Through self-awareness, we gain insight into our true nature, develop the ability to self-regulate, and become empowered to create a new lifestyle. True recovery is attaining and maintaining a lifestyle that emphasizes a positive relationship with yourself.
