Jason Duchinsky, MA, LPC

I taught and counseled students ages 18-80 during 12 years of service at a local community college. In that time I experienced the plurality of our shared humanity and I consistently draw on that experience in my current work in private practice. In addition, I hold a completed certificate in the Jungian Psychotherapy Program from the CG Jung Institute of Chicago. Analytical psychology in particular and depth psychology, in general, informs my approach to psychotherapy, change, healing, and growth.

My work with a psychotherapist at a critical point in my development led to the discovery of integral self-knowledge. I am a seeker, a life long student, and most useful when attempting to guide others in search of meaning and understanding of purpose.

Based upon feedback I've received, clients tend to find my style to be warm, receptive, calming, and encouraging. My goal during an initial session is to listen intently to the story being told. To demonstrate my respect for it and the teller by refraining from judgment while being curious about its origins, its "fateful detours and wrong turnings" per Jung and how it brought our paths together now.

All cliches possess a kernel of truth. It's the source of their perpetuation and holds the promise of new life. And so...getting started is the hardest part. If you are able to begin, things can get better.
