Our Purpose
Advancing the study and practice of Depth Psychology while supporting professional growth within a community of clinicians who honor diversity and inclusion in the hopes of cultivating greater soulfulness for both the individual and the world.
The Jungian Psychotherapists Association (JPA) is a mutually supportive organization of psychotherapists and analysts actively engaged in the study and application of Analytical Psychology developed by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung.
At JPA, we are committed to cultivating an environment where every member feels seen, valued, and respected. We actively strive to foster a culture of belonging that embraces the full richness of human diversity inclusive of all races, ethnicities, cultures, ages, genders, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, religions and spiritual beliefs.
We affirm that inclusion and belonging are not passive, but a continual, intentional practice to which we are committed.
We provide annual seminars and workshops with Jungian analysts throughout the year to support the clinical development of our members.
In addition, JPA serves as a forum for communication, support, and social engagement among its members, fostering a collaborative and enriching professional community.
