Jungian Therapists in Portland, ME
Concepts and theories I use are: childhood conditioning, "inner child" therapy, IFS informed "parts work", Jungian "shadow work", boundaries skills, attachment style, developmental trauma, codependency, and intergenerational trauma.
Let's get to the heart of it. You want the pain to stop. You keep finding yourself in a place of despair, repeating the same patterns over and over again. You don't know how it happened and you don't realize you're doing it until it's too late...again. Together we can explore your patterns, struggles, and strengths in order to lead you to a new path of self-determined fulfillment. We will gently but assuredly do deep work together, not put a band-aid "coping skill" over your issues. Clearly you're not trying to be in pain! You're not consciously making this happen.

I draw primarily upon Jungian psychology, which attends to the nature of psychological life by considering what's unknown to and about us, however such things appear.
You've likely read countless therapist bios and blurbs by now. Allow me to respect your situation by not advertising generic compassion. After all, it may be a problem of time leading you to this website. Maybe your relationships stay in the same conflicts; perhaps life hurries you without direction. A vague sense of yourself may linger outside your grasp. Is that person hinting for (or hiding from) your attention? I wonder why? Together in our work we could attempt to consider the apparent necessity of what afflicts you with curiosity and care.

As a therapist specializing in both Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Jungian psychology, I focus on helping you embrace your sensitivity, while also uncovering the deeper, often unconscious, aspects of your psyche.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of your surroundings, or do you find yourself absorbing the energy and emotions of those around you? If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), you may be navigating a world that feels louder and more overwhelming than most people can understand. I want to provide a safe, empathetic space where sensitivity is honored and seen as a source of strength. I am also especially interested in concerns related to life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, disordered eating and body image, and learning disabilities.

I am a seasoned clinician who has worked with adults, couples and families for over 30 years. Increased awareness leads to increased options. Often the work of therapy is about making or repairing connections--interpersonal, internal or perhaps even spiritual. I provide individual adult psychodynamic psychotherapy; couples counseling: marital, pre and post divorce. I use a multi modal approach often including assessment and treatment from a family systems perspective and a psychodynamic perspective. I reserve a portion of my practice to provide a safe and intriguing space for children to express themselves and to be understood by adults. Facilitated parent-child sessions often help.

I help people who have anxiety, overwhelm or stressful relationships find clarity and serenity. In 2014, after years of talk therapy and recovery work, I became frustrated by the lack of progress in a few key areas. I decided to go deeper and I combined "parts work" with a mediation facilitation process. The healing I experienced was astounding. I researched other practitioners who were working at these deep levels, began studying evidence based techniques with Sarah Peyton, and I implemented these life changing models into my work. A past client posted: "Sara’s way of providing help creates peace in the battle zone of my brain."

How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
