Tobi Ricca

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Come in. Bring your baggage. We’ll sit together, unpack it, and figure out what has gone wrong and what now to do about it. It will be a journey, your journey; and I will be alongside you as a guide. Feeling overwhelmed and without direction is often what brings people into therapy. Once you take that step, you are no longer alone. Whether you are coping with a situational concern or a life-long condition, I have a range of approaches, honed during my 30 years in the profession that will be useful on your journey.
From EMDR, Solution-Focused counseling, & talk therapies to the less well-known Imagery therapies, Expressive Arts, & Energy techniques, these approaches will help you achieve your goals; and as a Board-Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress, I am well-equipped to help if you have a history of trauma.
In addition, my Imagery studies were with Akhter Ahsen, Ph.D., founder of Eidetic Imagery Psychotherapy, and for the 20+ years I have been using imagery, I have seen the strong and positive impact it has had on many lives. LGBTQ and gender-diverse communities are welcome in my practice.
