Jackie Sell, MA, LCSW

Sometimes we struggle in knowing how to tolerate and accept difficult feelings without shame and judgment. Often times this is due to adverse experiences in childhood and/or adulthood. I am passionate about helping clients find their creative abilities and potential and incorporating it into the healing process. I practice from a depth psychotherapy perspective that is typically longer term and unstructured, but highly rewarding. Areas of interest include attachment, relational concerns, Jungian influenced depth psychotherapy, the personal and collective unconscious, dream work, and somatic work. I am currently participating in seminars with the Heartland Association of Jungian Analysts.

What makes depth work different from regular psychotherapy?

In-depth work is a process unique to each individual and it relies on their innate potential for growth and ability to explore deeper realms of the psyche. We will use tools such as dream work, active imagination, explorations of the past as well as the present to understand those deeper aspects of the mind. The goal of depth work is to understand unconscious patterns and origins of behavior which can ultimately lead to greater psychological flexibility and freedom. Many clients who experience depth work end up finding a renewed sense of Self and purpose. Due to the nature of working with the deeper layers of the psyche, a commitment to the work is important. Clients should be willing to meet on a consistent weekly basis, and are encouraged to engage with dreams, fantasies, and inner dialogue in between sessions.

I am not taking on new couples at this time.
