Message to clients

For nearly 100 years, growing alongside the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung stands the work of Roberto Assagioli, M.D. and Psychosynthesis. A transpersonal and distinctly western psychology, Psychosynthesis puts forth a holistic model of human development that takes into account the spiritual dimension of human nature. Assagioli saw humans as a vast array of biological, social and spiritual impulses and felt that a true psychology had to embrace all of these aspects of the person. Scott Thompson, M.Div., M.S., LMHC, works as a psychotherapist in private practice.
