Emerge into your true self, Transcend your stuck position, Individuate the parts of yourself that are unconscious, Creating transformation in your life journey.
I’m Dr. Victoria Shackelford
A Licensed Professional Counselor for the State of Texas and a Doctor of Depth Psychotherapy in Archetypal Psychology. I offer counseling services to help you, your partner and your family overcome negative and destructive patterns of living that no longer serve you.
Together we can work to engage your stuck world
by learning ways to understand the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. We do this by dialoging with your dreams, engaging sand tray objects, exploring the arts, using mandala psychology, and studying mythology and the archetypal patterns revealed by these techniques.
Own your destiny by engaging your creative life force to manifest relationship, work life and family dynamics that enrich your mind, body and soul.
Holistic Approach
I employ the neuro-psychology and psychosomatic techniques of bi-lateral stimulation, recycled memory work, and cogitative restructuring as tools for helping a traumatized individual in the grips of trauma memories, anxiety, anger, and/or depression.
The holistic approach of Depth Psychology in tandem with the richness of archetypal psychology and healing art techniques provides a mind, body, and soul connection within the field of traditional talk therapy.
Children & Adolescents
Children respond well to the art and sand tray processes, especially when used in conjunction with ‘Parent/Child Centered Play Therapy’. This technique teaches parents how to do therapeutic play with their children in order to impart greater autonomy, self-esteem, and self-control for a struggling child, especially with a family in crisis due to divorce and child custody concerns.
Adolescents also engage more readily when given an activity that helps them reveal their inner struggle. Emotional and psychological healing is often on the horizon, when together we see the inner images that have meaning for them.
