Jungian Therapists in Maspeth, NY

Please note that my practice is for adults residing in New York State only. Today you are one step closer to a new personal space where you feel empowered and enabled to experience your true personal freedom. We often limit our personal freedom and our way to happiness because of our fear of expressing our true self, not the false self which is dictated by others. My goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a balanced life that is truly meaningful to you. I use Jungian Psychoanalytic therapy primarily, but I also use other modalities such as Mindfulness-based or Existential psychotherapy at times.

My name is Dariela Vasquez, Soy Dariela Vasquez. I am a Somatic Psychotherapist, Advocate, Educator and Storyteller. My passion is to hold space, teach and walk along side those who have also have felt or feel disenfranchised from the self, from their body and from their heart. My intention is to provide sacred spaces that honors all parts of you as we welcome your parts back home.

I am currently accepting new sliding scale clients! You can apply for a slot on my website if you are eligible. While I specialize in OCD and alleviating repetitive thoughts, I also support clients to overcome shame, toxic relationships, eating disorders, depression, and other challenges. I take a lot of inspiration from Jungian psychology- where we may feel the need to put on a mask and perform in society based on the labels we are given and hide who we truly are. Together, we will create a personalized space - where you can feel liberated to explore who you are and meet your goals without having any masks on.

The sage Lao Tzu said, "At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want". There is a deep drive inside of us to form meaningful connections to ourselves, to family, and to community. This is a journey you do not have to take alone. My clients have come to me when going through such life changes, crisis, burnout, the end of a relationship, or a major job shift. I help them navigate these rocky waters and provide a safe haven for them to be seen, heard, validated, understood, and - if need be - challenged.

Whether you are seeking psychoanalysis at a time of crisis or from a desire to deepen your awareness of self, this process will meet you where you are and where you are willing to go. It is very much a dyadic experience attuned to your specific psychological needs. Jungian analysis believes in the self regulating aspect of ourselves that lies within us all. This process is designed to realize your authentic self in the world.

My clients come to therapy with a desire to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the implicit beliefs they hold about themselves and the world. They are deep thinkers and feelers with a great appreciation for humor as part of the therapeutic process. They are often striving to become (and befriend) the best version of themselves. Together, we balance insights and perspectives with tools that guide transformation and growth.

To those considering beginning their therapy journey, I understand it can feel like a daunting commitment. It is my mission to create a meaningful, interesting and collaborative environment that meets a client where they are and shows them that they have the capacity for meaningful change. Shift in perspective is crucial to an evolving sense of self. I believe in the power of culture, myth, laughter and metaphor to explore a client's issues. I draw from Jungian, Humanistic and Existential theory and believe therapy is a creative as well as healing enterprise.

Our deepest wounds are beyond words. So are our deepest strengths. When fear, anger, and grief run high, verbal methods aren't enough. Now more than ever, there is a need to repair deep injuries and draw from deep strength. You need a healer who will help you mend from (not cope with) generations of pain - someone who can help you access resources you didn't know you have to make breakthroughs you didn't know were possible. Now more than ever, you're hoping for someone who can go into dark places with you and help you find your light - someone who advocates for you at your worst and brings out your very best.

Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and belonging through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). Therapy Groups help you bring your full authentic self into connection to transcend loneliness and find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

We are moved to seek mental health treatment when traditional methods of self-care are not enough, when life becomes too much to handle on our own. Regardless of your specific issues, we will be exploring the ways in which creativity (especially music) can help you meet the challenges you face. Through our artistic collaboration and talk therapy, we will be able to discover patterns of thought and ways of relating that may be transformed through greater self-knowledge. Being musically talented is not a prerequisite for music therapy, just experience with the immense depth of feeling that music provides.
