Working in Depth to Achieve an Authentic Life...
Joan C. Concannon
M.A., Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (MFT20873)

I am a Certified Jungian Analyst practicing in Calabasas, California.

In my psychotherapy practice, I work with a variety of people with a broad spectrum of issues including but not limited to:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Relationship Issues
• Childhood Trauma
• Emotional Growth and Development, Self esteem, Identity
• Sleep disorders: insomnia, nightmares
• Communication problems
• 2nd half of life concerns: midlife crisis, aging
• Grief and loss
• Spirituality
• Creative Blocks

I believe that the transformative process that takes place within the safe environment of the therapeutic relationship is founded upon deep listening and dialog. Throughout these many years of practice, I have been honored to participate in my client's endeavor to achieve an authentic life.

My love of dreams and the desire to understand the intertwining of the spiritual and psychological mystery of life brought me to the works of C.G. Jung 30 years ago. Working with Dreams, Expressive Art, Sandplay and Active Imagination can facilitate the understanding of the unconscious process and help create positive changes in your daily life.

My community outreach has included teaching classes both to other therapists as they develop their skills and to the general public. These classes include: Dreams in Therapy, Understanding Your Dreams, Keeping Balanced During Stressful Times, and Women in Transition, The Second Half of Life. I was also privileged to be the Dream Consultant for the Discovery Health Network television show Dream Decoders.

I am an active member of the C. G. Jung Study Center of Southern California.
