Thanks so much for your interest in potentially working together in a more frequent manner!  Please read the information below and then answer the questions  if you are interested in ongoing work with me at this time. I will get back to you as soon as possible, but feel free to reach out to amanda@aquarianspirals.com with questions.

If you're entirely new to my work, you can check out who I am and what I do at aquarianspirals.com.

SP sessions are available  to folks who are looking for a medium to longer term therapeutic container in which they can receive general support for ongoing life issues and/or support for specific emotional and spiritual concerns. These sessions are offered in light of the fact that over the years many folks have reached out with a desire to work with me in a more frequent container specifically because I embrace spirituality and astrology as legit ways of knowing.

SP sessions are meant to take place over a longer period of time at a weekly, biweekly or every-third-week pace. My initial recommendation is for six sessions, the first of which will be used to get an update about your life, go over you intentions for the work, and get started. If you have not had an initial consult with me, you will need to start there (aquarianspirals.com/schedule). You can use code "sp2024" to get 20% off.

You are, of course, welcome to discontinue sessions at any time.

Because I am not a licensed therapist, this work is best for folks who are *not* currently in an active or acute state of mental health activation or crisis.  If this describes your situation I can only work with you if a.) we have worked together before; b.) you are engaged in conventional therapy with a licensed therapist and c.) we have a conversation before you sign up for sessions.

Sessions will be a shared, relational process that can include dialogue, experiential parts work (based in Internal Family Systems, somatic parts work, gestalt and more), guided visualizations, astrology, dream work, coaching, the sharing of your life experiences and questions alongside my perspectives and insights of some of the deeper dynamics at play.

Here's what you should know about my background as it is specifically relevant to these sessions:

Somatic Psychosynthesis sessions combine my extensive background  in client work (practicing since 2010) alongside:

-my master's degree in psychology and spirituality with a focus in depth psychology; this is a branch of psychology that stems from the work of C.G. Jung and provides a framework for exploring the unconscious through things like dream work, mythology, inner imagery, active imagination, complexes and more. This degree was not clinical, although it did include coursework in clinical interventions and skills. I am not a licensed therapist. (graduated Antioch University Seattle in 2012)

-a 2 year psychosynthesis coaching training with Mark Jones + Keith Hackwood; psychosynthesis is a branch of psychology associated with Roberto Assagioli, a contemporary of Freud and Jung. Psychosynthesis envisions a therapeutic process that combines the discovery of our inherent potential with an emphasis on understanding and healing our subpersonalities (psychosynthesis is a precursor to modern modalities such as Internal Family Systems). Psychosynthesis recognizes that we are embedded within larger systems that have as much impact on us as our personal experiences, and is one of the only overtly spiritually oriented branches of psychology. (2021-2023

-a certificate in Integrative Somatic parts work, which included training that supports working with the "parts" within us (inner critic, inner child), including approaches that help us to understand ways parts of us show up in our physical body. (2023)

-ongoing supervision/small group consult work under the guidance of Jason Holley, astrologer + psychotherapist

Thank you so much for your time and interest. I'm looking forward to working with you.
