Syntha Lorenz

Marriage & Family Therapist -

Well, no therapy is alike truthfully.  Each person has their own particular hard wiring and set of life experiences that makes them who they are in the present as they move through their life journey.  I tell my folks, It’s your life! WAKE UP!! Get REAL!   I ask what do YOU want, not what society tells you.  I have my professional training in psychology and expressive arts therapy and I draw deeply on my own intuitive wisdom and clairsentience.  We explore things in the body and thoughts that stop you from being the star that you are.  What’s most important is to find ways to “be” with that which you don’t want to be with.  I’m pretty interactive and unconventional in my approaches!  We co-create a plan based on your needs and goals.I am a Jungian-oriented, Feminist psychotherapist with an Object-Relations base. I believe in the power of therapy and it’s ability to heal wounds. I use the term Shaman with a great deal of respect and consideration.  I have worked with non-traditional healers for over 20 years using alternative healing techniques such as shamanistic journey, dreams, ritual, body awareness, guided imagery, art, authentic movement, and healing touch. I am aware that cultural misappropriation of terms is a further insult to Native cultures.   I use the term with the utmost respect and intent of the indigenous teaching/healing modalities it implies.  I have experience and training in both worlds, traditional and non-traditional.  I have dived deep into the psyche to explore buried material and found the gold in the cast off parts by working through unresolved feelings associated with those memories using both ways. This is where Jungian psychology and Shamanism meet in the Mystery.  I believe in the importance of a therapist first doing her own work.  I hold the belief I can accompany my people only to the depths that I’ve been to in my own process of healing.  I can promise you that I have gone there! Not only have I gone there, I found that what I fought to avoid for so many years was actually the very thing that held the answer for me through an alchemical process.  I strive to blend the Shaman with the psychotherapist in my work with people treating dis-ease.
