Jungian Psychotherapy

Jungian Psychotherapy adapts therapeutic and self-analytic methods pioneered by C. G. Jung to the needs of patients today. This type of therapy offers the chance to understand the unconscious aspects of our lives better, including dreams, fantasies, complexes, and compulsions that may be carrying deeper meanings and broader potential for the growth of awareness in the way we deal with others and ourselves. Dr. Reding is a trained Jungian analyst and a clinical teacher, making him uniquely qualified to guide you through this process.
