Cydny Rothe, LCSW

In practice over 40 years, I work with individuals, groups and couples.  I am curious, engaged and interactive as I try to weave together elements of the past and the present including a sense of the immediate moment of our work together.   A beginning coherence of the narrative arc of your life may come into focus.  I use images that arise in the moment as well as images from dreams in an effort to get a living sense of the contours of the psychic landscape.  I focus on presence of body, heart, mind and soul. We observe and track the movement of the psyche/body as it manifests during our work together noticing where energy stops and awakens.  I work with creative process and spiritual longings paying close attention to the experience of happiness, pleasure, joy and well-being as well as the loamy fertilizer of darker feelings and thoughts. The work is a gathering and reflecting on the full spectrum of one’s experiences.  Sometimes this might feel like coming home to or settling into oneself.  Engaging the deeper parts of ones experiences will  enrich, expand, deepen and strengthen a sense of personhood.  Each person can anticipate having a unique experience.

My presentations have been on such topics as Jungian perspectives on film, writing workshops, the body in analysis, dreams, anima, animus, the Self, clinical work, stealing, relational psychology, the group unconscious, aging, and death.
