Jay Chierotti, PhD(c), MA, CC

Depth Psychologist, Dream Work Practitioner, Certified Counselor

 My practice is built on the belief that your path to growth lies in exploring both your practical, everyday life and the rich, imaginal world of the psyche.

 As an artist, writer, singer, and nature lover, I bring a creative and comprehensive lens to each session, offering specialized support from the fertile woods of Gig Harbor. 

 I hold an M.A. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and am currently completing my Ph.D. My approach is informed by my experience in clinical practice, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), clinical practice in community mental health, non-profit organization and promotion, and memory care. With this foundation, I’ll guide you on a transformative journey into the depths of the psyche.

 I use a blend of contemporary theories and Jungian principles to integrate creative exploration with foundational psychological techniques. My method incorporates archetypal studies, combined with somatic, imaginal, art therapy, psychomythology, ecopsychology, and mindfulness principles to meet your unique needs.

Because I believe in meeting the psyche on its own terms, every session is individualized. This process cannot be rushed or generalized, and each client received personalized attention and care.

 I am dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, and people with disabilities. I currently offer virtual sessions across Washington state.  I’m ready to help you begin your journey.
