Lucia Chambers, MA, LPC
Licensed Marriage Family Therapist
Clinical Teaching Member

I have always felt that there is a focused energy and a mysterious knowledge that lies deeper than our conscious mind can reach and more profound than we have words to express. The theoretical ideas of Carl Jung and the experiential work of sandplay and dream work have grounded me firmly in this work of searching for the light that lies in the depths of every human psyche.

I am a founding member of the Sandplay Therapists of America. I consult, teach and assist in setting up study programs across the United States, as well as maintain a private practice in San Jose, California.
