 OYA GULUM, MA, LMFT 
 
MY BACKGROUND  I began my studies in depth psychotherapy in 2014 at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. After earning my master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on depth psychotherapy, I spent three years at CG Jung Institute of New York training to be a Jungian Analyst. I was also a fellow at the Palo Alto Psychoanalytic Institute. Over the years, I have continued to learn from other schools, in particular from the Contemporary Relational Freudians and Gestalt/Existential therapies.
Before my studies in psychology, I had a successful career as a business consultant in high-tech and life sciences industries.

MY APPROACH
As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I have tried to develop the art of genuine listening and empathetic attunement. I have learned to participate in another person’s life narrative because, somehow, probably through my own therapy, I know those places in myself. Being an immigrant in the United States, I know of the difficulties one experiences at being at home within themselves and in the world. I speak two languages and have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds. I believe sensitivity toward the individual within his or her own cultural heritage is crucial. Depth psychotherapy is a matter of the heart as well as the mind; deep relatedness and intellectual reflection are part of my approach. 

Depth psychotherapy investigates the mind, especially the unconscious, through carefully guided introspection, listening, and observation. It can help those who are struggling with difficulties in the ways that they think and feel about themselves, the world, and their relationships with others. Depth Psychotherapy, sometimes called dynamic psychotherapy, tries to understand the connection between the current situation and challenges that have been in one’s life for a long time. It explores the larger and long-term causes and solutions to current questions, often guided by the client’s dreams, fantasies, and emotional experiences.  Within a unique relationship attuned to us and our emotions and devoted to our soul's needs, we begin to speak our truth and hold with compassion all the fragments of ourselves that got split off and not developed fully. We investigate and gain insight into the patterns that keep us stuck and not thriving.
