Smith-Marder Paula PHD

Specialties

I am a clinical psychologist and a Jungian analyst. I work with adults of all ages in psychotherapy, couple’s therapy, and Jungian analysis. Among my areas of interest are times of transitions in individuals’ lives, women’s issues, and understanding dreams.

History

Established in 1980.

I began my private practice in Beverly Hills, and have worked for over twenty years in Westwood. Throughout this time, I have enjoyed working with people needing help with depression, anxiety, difficulties during pregnancy and after child birth, work-​related stress, parenting issues with young and adult children, mother-​daughter conflicts, and relationships of all kinds. As a Jungian analyst, I have been interested in assisting an individual to deepen his or her capacity to live a full life which includes relationship with one’s inner world. I have found that working with dreams often facilitates this process.
