Anne Theissen

Anne Theissen is a Jungian analyst based in Virginia, United States. She is a member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and is listed in the International Association for Analytical Psychology's directory of certified analysts. Her career within the Jungian community has included leadership roles: she has served as past president of both the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts and the Jungian Analysts of the Washington Area, reflecting sustained engagement with the organizational infrastructure of analytical psychology in the eastern United States.

Theissen has lectured and taught in New York, California, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., with a particular focus on themes of separation and loss and the individuation process. These thematic preoccupations place her work squarely within the central concerns of Jungian clinical theory, where the navigation of loss, transition, and psychological differentiation constitutes a primary dimension of the analytic enterprise.

The Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, founded in 1973, was established to bring Jungian analytic training to regions of the United States outside the major metropolitan training centers. Theissen's involvement with IRSJA, PAJA, and JAWA positions her as a connector across multiple regional Jungian communities, with a practice informed by decades of clinical, educational, and organizational engagement with the tradition of analytical psychology.
