About
Brenda Stephenson combines her scholarly/teaching work with a clinical practice. Her clinical practice not only keeps her therapeutic skills current, but also provides insight into what may cause suffering in a person and also where they find their meaning. Her scholarly interests focus on the interface of depth psychology with spiritual formation, especially in the work of C.G. Jung and in Mindfulness. To this end she continues to participate in intensive week-long training in Jungian psychology and in dream work.
