D. Steven Nouriani

D. Steven Nouriani, Ph.D., MFT (MFC30570), is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Jungian Analyst/Psychoanalyst with over 35 years of clinical training and experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and completed his doctoral internship at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Ten years after earning his doctorate, he returned to the Jung Institute to pursue advanced post-licensure training in Analytical Psychology — a rigorous process that can take six to twelve years and requires the therapist to undergo extensive personal analysis to develop a deeper experiential understanding of psychotherapy.

Dr. Nouriani maintains private practices in San Francisco and San Jose, working with adults, children, and adolescents in individual, couples, group, and family therapy modalities. He is a training analyst at the Jung Institute of San Francisco and has served as adjunct faculty at various Bay Area universities. Over the past 20 years, he has been an international speaker presenting at professional conferences on topics including Analytical Psychology, Depth Psychotherapy, Eating Disorders, Group Psychotherapy, Psychotherapy with Gays and Lesbians, and cross-cultural issues.

His research interests span aging and development, eating disorders, Egyptian mythology, mysticism, alchemy, and Sufism, making him uniquely positioned to work with clients from Middle Eastern, Muslim, or mystical spiritual backgrounds. He has extensive clinical experience in both in-patient and out-patient settings, and has also provided consultation and training for psychotherapists and interns throughout his career.
