Please share a little about yourself by way of introduction. What draws you to Depth Psychology and what are you looking for from this community?
I am currently working on my M.A. in Counseling and feel like it is sometimes too focused on the clinical aspects of working with clients, and I am more interested in the soulful and metaphoric aspects of working with clients. I am interested in the Depth Psychology Alliance because I would like to supplement my learning at school with a Depth perspective.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?
American Counseling Association

Greetings Amber and a very warm welcome to the online depth psychology community. It's great to see you here! This is an exciting time for the Depth Psychology Alliance, as we are expanding and adding many features to this forum.
As you may know, we now are made up of over 4,000 members from all over the world. I hope that as you have explored the community you have noticed what a dynamic group of like-minded people are here, all who are deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from all walks of life--artists, writers, doctors, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
