‘Yvonne Smith-Tarnas, MFT, Ph.D., is a Jungian psychoanalyst, astrologer, and Marriage & Family Therapist in Larkspur, California.
She studied design at the University of Washington, and after a successful career as an art director went on to attend the Pacifica Graduate Institute in California, earning a master’s degree in counseling psychology with a dissertation on eating disorders as a wounded path toward individuation. She continued on at Pacifica, earning a doctorate in depth psychotherapy with the dissertation, “Destined Meetings: Synchronicity, Intentionality, and Archetypal Meaning in the Initial Therapy Session.”
Dr. Smith-Tarnas worked for many years as a Marriage & Family Therapist before training as a Jungian psychoanalyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco where she is now a clinical supervisor and instructor. She designed their curriculum on astrology for licensed therapy practitioners and continues to deliver lectures on psychology and astrology.
She has been practicing astrology since 1973, guided by the work of Dr. Liz Greene, Dane Rudhyar, and Dr. Robert Hand. In her full-time practice, she provides therapy and consultation for adults, couples, and adolescents, integrating depth psychology with astrology. She lectures for the Astrological Association of Great Britain, the Organization for Professional Astrology (OPA), and the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR).
She has presented her integration of psychotherapy and astrology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), the International Scientific Astrological Research Conference, and the Synchronicity: Matter & Psyche Symposium. She has taught for The Community Institute for Psychotherapy and lectured for the CIIS astrology study group, Coniunctio. Her article, “Synchronicity, Intentionality, and Archetypal Meaning in Therapy,” was published in Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche in 2015.
Earlier this month, I met up with Dr. Smith-Tarnas at the United Astrology Conference (UAC) here in Chicago and attended her presentation, “Lost in the Wilderness and Becoming a Self.”
