Depth Therapy

Aaron Buchholz

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have years of experience utilizing depth therapy to help people address complex and longstanding problems to make positive changes. Depth therapy is a non-pathologizing way to focus our attention, curiosity and active imagination to make meaning of themes, dreams, and in-the-moment associations we have to early life experiences as fundamental aspects influencing us here and now.

Depth psychotherapy focuses on helping the client access and better understand thoughts, feelings, and images that are not fully conscious. Depth psychology integrates internal and external experiences so one can move without fear toward finding purpose and meaning in life. The client is invited to be curious about these experiences, thoughts, feelings, actions, and dreams in a respectful, welcoming, and safe environment.

The Hakomi therapy that I offer is a psychodynamic depth-psychotherapy. In Hakomi, we use mindfulness within a safe container to explore and integrate subconscious material. I will help you understand how your current day experience is related to and influenced by this core material from your early childhood. We will explore childhood memories and offer healing attention to the deepest parts of your self and inner child.

While I am experienced in, and often use a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I am heart and soul a depth psychotherapist. I was trained at one of the only depth psychology schools in the country, Pacifica Graduate Institute. For those unfamiliar with depth psychology, I describe it as an approach that takes a person's unconscious into account just as much as the presenting issues.

Graham Borgman (He/him/his)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depth therapy refers to an approach to the human psyche that acknowledges the activity of the unconscious in life. 'Unconscious' is simply a scientific term that designates something as unknown. Curiosity about the unknown dynamics and structures upon which our consciousness is based is necessary for the therapist as well as for the patient of depth-oriented therapy.

Brad Creel (he/him)

I have a MA in Counseling Psychology with and emphasis on Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA.

Gabriel Boyer (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, MEd

I have a master's in depth psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. Depth therapy is a matter of deep, engaged listening and holding aspects of life with sacredness. Opposed to the pathologizing tread in therapy, we seek the unique support needed to courageously move towards deeper feelings in order to loosen the knots keeping you stuck. This journey connects us to our life spirit and paradoxically deepens joy and freedom.

Depth Therapy is the theoretical framework of my graduate program, therefore, I feel knowledgeable and skilled in this area. My training included ways to integrate the unconscious material in our psyche, which is intrinsic to personal healing.

Depth therapy is about meaning -- having experiences in the session hour that rewire memories and a personal narrative in ways that can change the trajectory of a life.

Depth psychotherapy delves into the underlying, often unconscious, aspects of the psyche to address issues at their roots. Unlike more surface-level approaches, it explores the depths of one's experiences, emotions, and patterns, aiming for profound and lasting transformation. By uncovering hidden motivations, unresolved conflicts, and unconscious beliefs, individuals can gain insight into their behaviors and find healing from within. This is my primary method and the root of my masters degree.

Ever feel like you don't understand or can't explain your own choices or behavior? Depth therapy looks beneath the surface to explore underlying beliefs, feelings, and unmet needs that drive your daily life. We look at how early experiences & relationships shape the ways you show up today. I help you explore how habituated behaviors and thinking patterns that once served you might be holding you back. Depth therapy is a supported process of self-exploration that can lead to real, lasting growth.

Peter Gold (he/him)

Professional Counselor

PhD, LPC, LMHC

Depth psychology acknowledges that often times we are unaware of why we do what we do. Instead of merely addressing symptoms, depth therapy seeks to get the the root of problems by addressing the underlying dynamics that cause them. I will soon have a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology and my training has been explicitly depth oriented since I began my graduate training.

Margaret McNeal (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

Depth therapy includes psychodynamic and transpersonal approaches to psychotherapy—meaning, we will look beneath the surface level of your symptoms to discover how to heal and integrate, as well as discover threads of meaning woven through your inner and outer experiences that connect you with the web of life. We may use parts work, relationship, dreams, body, art, and the "here-and-now"/present-centered approaches in therapy.

Simon Yugler (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, LPC-A, LPF

Founded by Carl Jung, depth psychology understands that our individual psyches are informed by collective, archetypal elements. Our problems, issues, and fears are often rooted in the unconscious, or what Jung called our shadow. Instead of simply changing unwanted behaviors, depth psychology helps us address the root cause. Depth psychology can help you navigate the turbulent waters of life by framing your life and struggles in the context of the greater web of human experiences throughout time.

Ryja (Rylan Jay) Testa (he/him)

I am certified in Depth Hypnosis through Foundation of the Sacred Stream, under the guidance of Isa Gucciardi, PhD. This training is thorough and integrates transpersonal psychology, shamanism, and Buddhist philosophy. This is the primary orientation I practice in, allowing change to occur at the subconscious level and thus be integrated and influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors across contexts. This work empowers the client and is powerful and transformative.

Depth psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that delves into the unconscious processes influencing an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It seeks to uncover deep-seated emotional issues and unresolved conflicts that often stem from past experiences, including trauma. This type of therapy involves exploring a person’s personal history and unconscious mind to better understand their current psychological state.

I believe that communication with the unconscious mind through dreamwork and active imagination can help us to access the wisdom of our inner depths.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Theoretically I draw from depth and Jungian psychology, psychodynamic, attachment and system's approaches. This simply means that in our work together, I pay attention to and integrate information that rises from the unconscious through your dreams and images, your body's sensations, creative instinct, as well as more conscious realities such as your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, actions, relationships and other important practicalities of life. This approach tends to be more enriching to you.

Professional Counselor Associate

Within our complex personalities, there may be less conscious aspects motivating ways we think, and how we make decisions. These less conscious aspects can perhaps be followed and learned from over the course of therapy.

A Depth psychological approach means, in part, that the soul (psyche) of the individual is expected to BE a major player in our work together. This is in addition to the rational mind or 'ego', and 'the soul's voice' is going to be expressing its greatest desire for this individual. We must listen to subtle, unconscious communications as we invite in the healing impulse of psyche.
