About Martha Ayres, M. Ed., DAPA

 

Martha is a Jungian psychotherapist, Diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association and certified Kripalu yoga teacher. For the past three decades she has worked with individuals, couples and groups using the theoretical framework of C.G. Jung to understand the unconscious and inner images and dreams. Years of experience in designing and implementing workshops on the wisdom of the body, writing, painting, movement and voice, as well as workshops on dream analysis, have taught Martha how to listen to, and respect messages from the body and the psyche’s own messages.

Martha’s concentration for her Masters work was in Jungian Dream Analysis, the subject of her Master’s thesis. After graduate work she furthered her studies in Jungian analytical training under the guidance of renowned Jungian analysts Dr. Renee Nell and Mary Bowen. She has also studied with Michael Conforti and Marion Woodman.

In order to stay abreast of cutting-edge thinking, and reflecting her abiding commitment to the Jungian analytical perspective in psychotherapy and dream analysis, Martha has participated in seminars at Boston Jung Institute, the Assisi Conference, Cambridge Hospital at Harvard Medical School, University of Toronto, Center for Psychiatry in Holyoke, MA, and the Kripalu Yoga Center, where she continues her training in body work.

Martha is profoundly dedicated to providing her clients with a safe, non-judgmental environment, in which they can access their inner truths and release their authentic voices, achieving balance between body and spirit.
