Jan Carlson, LPC

After years of working in mental health agencies, I became a psychotherapist. I have been in private practice since the mid eighties, working primarily with adults. I am trained in Analytical Psychology and utilize the works of Carl Jung in my practice. My approach, however, is eclectic and I am willing to help you find what you need to obtain peace of mind. I am well versed in Dream Analysis and can help interpret unconscious symbols that may surface in your dreams. I can assist you in finding your true self. The second stage is learning to manifest that self in the outside world. Jung calls this process individuation. This is the process of becoming our Self and releasing the anxiety, guilt and sadness induced in us by our family and culture.

Location:

I provide a safe and comfortable environment for this work with respect for your specific needs and confidentiality. My office on Bee Caves Road, across from the Barton Springs Nursery.  I will give you directions to my office when you call.

Fees:

I am a provider for many insurance companies which can help you to pay for therapy. When you call for an initial consultation we can talk about insurance and fees.

Specialties:

My years of practice have given me special insight into topics such as

  • body image,
  • addiction,
  • depression,
  • anxiety,
  • social phobia,
  • trauma/PTSD,
  • grief and loss,
  • creative blocks,
  • and transition issues.

I find that most of us seek therapy when our lives are not working as we hoped. This discord is a core cause of anxiety, depression and many other symptoms that surface in our lives.
