Ms Maria Dolgopolova

Jungian Analyst

verified by TherapyRoute

I am a clinical psychologist*, psychoanalyst, trained and practised largely in Moscow from 2011 to 2022 and currently worldwide. I am a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and an accredited analyst and instructor at the Carl Gustav Jung Institute in Zurich. * Clinical psychology is my foundational training and professional background. However, psychological treatment and therapy should be provided to fit local regulations. As an international practicioner, I present myself and practice on TherapyRoute exclusively as a Jungian analyst offering in-depth work and exploration. This work is not psychotherapy or a medical service and does not replace licensed psychological or psychiatric treatment in your country of residence.

About Me

Background: thanks to 14 years of practical work I have become experienced to help with anxiety, anger, depression, relationships issues, self-destructive tendencies, grief, trauma and dissociative behaviors. I have supported individuals who have gone through sudden loss, the consequences of violence, post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, as well as endogenous disorders (such as paranoid schizophrenia and mood disorders), working in cooperation with psychiatric services. I was and I am willing to assist with less severe conditions as well, such as transitional life events, personal crisis and growth, existential questions, and choices. My current professional activities include private practice of psychoanalyst, teaching, leading psychodynamic groups, and research in the field of psychotherapeutic process.

Approach

If you find yourself in a difficult life situation, have lost your inner balance, or are facing questions about yourself and your relationships, as well as doubts or fears, you are welcome to come for a consultation to help you work through these experiences. Collaboration with me may be short-term—one or several sessions—or longer-term. This depends on the goals you set for yourself and is discussed during the first meeting. My work is informed by several core psychotherapeutic approaches, each with its own historical development, theoretical foundations, empirical grounding, and methodological frameworks: Gestalt therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, and Jungian analysis. My values are: 1) Ongoing professional development (the continuous enhancement of my skills and competencies through long-term training programs, active participation in professional psychological communities, collaboration with colleagues, and engagement with professional literature and scientific work). 2) Respect for individual differences — in my work, I do not adhere to a notion of what is “right.” Whatever your preferences may be, even if they differ from widely accepted norms or from my own personal values, I do not seek to steer you toward what I might consider “appropriate” changes or to question what you do.
