Welcome to my Website

Jungian Analyst in Oakland. CA | Depth Psychotherapy with Steven Herrmann, PhD, MFT

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), Jungian analyst, and analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. With a PhD in clinical psychology and over 38 years of experience, I offer depth psychotherapy and Jungian analysis to individuals seeking healing, creativity, and meaning in their lives.

As an internationally recognized educator and author of ten books and numerous scholarly publications, I integrate Jungian psychology with poetic reverie and clinical insight. My approach helps clients understand that neurosis often masks the creative impulse—the will to become fully oneself. Jungian analysis and in-depth psychotherapy supports the emergence of this creativity, fostering resilience, motivation, and transformation.

Specialties in Jungian Analysis and Psychotherapy:

• Anxiety and depression treatment

• Relationship counseling and intimacy issues

• Family therapy and child psychotherapy

• Trauma recovery and grief support

• Addiction and substance abuse counseling

• Career transitions and vocational guidance

• Exploring sexual and gender identity/LGBTQ+

• Spiritual counseling and life purpose exploration

• Aging, death, and end-of-life issues

• Body image and self-worth

• Sandplay therapy and expressive modalities

• Life stage transitions: young adulthood, midlife, elderhood

• Support for creatives, writers, and seekers

I provide psychotherapy and Jungian analysis in Montclair, Oakland, Berkeley, the SF Bay Area and beyond, in person and via telehealth. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing begins with dialogue, imagination, and the courage to change. I am also a published poet, a writer of 10 books, a professional editorial consultant on Jungian books and essays, and an internationally recognized lecturer, teacher and workshop leader. (For information on my teaching, editing, and public appearances, please see my Books and Workshops page).
