Bernard P. Zollett, Ph.D.

I am a psychotherapist in Richmond, Virginia, offering depth psychotherapy and counseling for individuals and couples. Depth Psychotherapy is a deepening process of self-discovery. It leads to self-transformations through which psycho-pathology becomes soul (psyche). Through the making of what is unknown known; conscious depth, depth of consciousness is made. Through progressive movement, spiraling ever inward, we connect with our deepest truths, effected through interpretation of the hidden meanings within our feelings and emotions, and within our symptoms and dreams. Consciousness grows, integration of forces are brought into balance, and the courage to act is honored. The process of self-transformation evolves a deeper, creative and ever-changing self.

My practice is based on thirty-eight years of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups in psychotherapy and counseling. For the past twenty-seven years, I have held a private practice in Richmond, Virginia. My formal training and supervision has been in Psychology (B.A., M.A., Ph.D.), with a concentration in psychotherapy and counseling, and in liberal studies (M.A.) with a concentration in the philosophy of psychology. My training, supervision, and practices have centered on the following areas of focus:

• Psychodynamic psychotherapy
• Transpersonal and Existential psychotherapy
• Archetypal psychology
• Psychology of Freud and Jung
