Claudia Hergesheimer, LCSW
Most commonly what brings someone to seek a therapist is often a crisis, whether it be personal, spiritual, or professional. There is no denying the usefulness of various therapeutic interventions such as learning healthy coping mechanisms, improved communication skills and deepened self awareness. However, psychotherapy, when considered an investment in the Self, can bring a whole new energy to consciouness.

Personally, I believe our deepest desires originate from a yearning for wholeness, a form of consciousness that comes from the depths of our psyche, a process which is unique for each individual. The path to expanding consciousness requires exploration into the unconscious world, and the best and really only way to embark on such a journey is through our dreams.

Psyche intends for us to expand consciousness, to bring to fruition the fullest realization of the Self, and the only method it has to communicate with us is through symbols. Exploring the meaning of the symbols Psyche has provided specifically for you in your dreams is the core of my work.

My journey in becoming a psychotherapist has not followed the conventional straight line; just the way life often seems to happen.
Our individual path unfolds sometimes quite unexpectedly.
It is important to know when to let go and trust or to recognize and overcome various obstacles that can deter us from attaining our fullest potential.
My training as a clinical social worker began 20 years ago working with adolescents and families in outpatient treatment for dual diagnosis and developmental life challenges.
My career as a social worker specializing in attachment and a Jungian Analyst-in-training allows me to bring a breadth of experience and a depth perspective to the problems that concern you, from anxiety and depression to relationships, career or life-change issues.
Regardless of why you are considering therapy, I can help you find a deeper connection to your inner life and discover your personal strengths to enjoy the quality of life you have been seeking.
It's often hard to seek help when we need it the most, and this is especially true when we experience the loss of energy that accompanies depression.
The age of technology is well upon us, and the mental health community has finally caught up by allowing therapists to offer Telehealth as an alternative method of providing services.
I have found that using Skype offers a safe and secure container to address the various issues requiring Telehealth as the method of choice for the therapeutic setting.
Telehealth is not only extremely useful for certain extenuating circumstances, it also broadens the boundaries when searching for a therapist to which one can form an authentic therapeutic bond.
The foundation of my practice is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which is uniquely adaptable for most anyone including, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families.
A psychodynamic approach explores personality in terms of conscious and unconscious forces, such as unconscious desires and beliefs.
It is commonly understood that childhood experiences shape personality.
Most people intuitively grasp that we all find ourselves behaving at times in ways we don't fully understand.
Psychodynamic therapy is in part based on the idea that we are not transparent to ourselves and that sometimes, what we do not know or understand about ourselves causes us problems.
Discovering Innate Potential: Jungian analysis is the empirical product of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung's research of the psyche (the totality of all psychological processes, conscious and unconscious).
The Jungian method pays particularly close attention to typology, complexes, unconscious content, and working with dreams and active imagination towards further development of the personality, a process Jung called individuation.
As we examine unconscious assumptions about ourselves, and others, we are able to remove blocks to our growth resulting in relieving disturbing symptoms by allowing our innate potential to unfold.
