Jourdan Tymkow, Registered Provisional Psychologist Edmonton: trauma and grief therapist

It all begins with an idea.

Exploring the Unconscious for Deep Healing and Transformation

Depth psychology is a therapeutic approach that invites you beneath the surface of symptoms and into the deeper story your psyche is trying to tell. Instead of focusing only on coping strategies or behavioural change, depth work explores dreams, symbols, archetypes, patterns, and the emotional undercurrents shaping your life.

Rooted in the work of Carl Jung, and expanded by archetypal and transpersonal psychology, depth psychology honours the symbolic, the creative, and the spiritual dimensions of healing. It helps you listen inward—to the parts of you that have been forgotten, silenced, or split off—and reconnect with meaning, intuition, and inner wisdom.

Why Choose Depth Psychology?

Modern life often pushes us toward quick fixes and fast solutions. Depth psychology takes the opposite stance:
slow down, listen inward, and trust the psyche’s natural movement toward wholeness.

Depth therapy may resonate if you’re looking for:

  • Long-term transformation rather than short-term symptom reduction

  • Space for dreams, intuition, archetypes, and imagery

  • A therapy that integrates creativity, spirituality, and symbolism

  • A gentle, compassionate exploration of both shadow and potential

  • A therapeutic process that feels like an inner journey—not just “treatment”

Depth psychology invites you to engage the whole psyche: conscious and unconscious, body and imagination, present self and inner mythic landscape.

How Depth Psychology Works

In depth-oriented sessions, we explore your inner world through practices such as:

  • Dreamwork – exploring dreams as messages from the unconscious

  • Active Imagination – dialoguing with images, symbols, and inner figures

  • Expressive Arts – using clay, paint, collage, writing, or movement to give form to the unseen

  • Myth & Archetypes – understanding your life through universal patterns

  • Symbolic Tools – tarot or archetypal astrology as reflective mirrors

  • Somatic Awareness – attuning to the body as a holder of emotion, trauma, and vitality

This integrative approach supports healing on emotional, somatic, creative, and spiritual levels.

Who Is Depth Psychology For?

You may benefit from depth-oriented therapy if you:

  • Feel drawn to dreams, symbols, archetypes, or spirituality

  • Are navigating grief, loss, or a major life transition

  • Want therapy that integrates imagination, creativity, and intuition

  • Have tried structured methods but still feel something is missing

  • Are seeking a more holistic, soulful approach to healing
