Clinical Social Worker Krista Barrett, LISW, is a life-long learner. She has spent years studying the works of renowned authorities like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. In addition, Barrett has sought the guidance of Jungian Oriented Counselor Steve Wong, MA, LPCC, by whom she has her dreams interpreted every week.
She is also a teacher. Barrett has privately practiced psychotherapy for over 10 years, offering her knowledge of dream analysis and Jungian symbolism to adults, children and families in the greater Albuquerque, N.M. area. “I specialize in a Jungian approach: working with childhood patterns, archetypes, symbols, and how the unconscious affects people.”
Barrett says dream interpretation is one of the most effective methods of therapy because dream content is derived from the wisdom of the deep unconscious. By tapping into the unconscious, Barrett helps clients identify imbalances in their lives and restore health to their personal or family systems. “The unconscious gives people what they need; sort of like the next step,” she said. “A lot of people don’t realize that dream interpretation is a very efficient way of therapy. My teacher often reminds me it’s like laser surgery for the soul.”
Though Barrett acknowledges that it takes decades to become an expert in Jungian styles of healing, she is certainly on her way. By practicing what she preaches, Barrett consistently brings new knowledge and expertise to her clients. “I think that’s what keeps it fresh with my clients,” she said. “I’m going through my own processes and so it really helps because I can understand theirs.”
