Dr. Marion Anderson is a certified Jungian analyst and licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Santa Monica, California. She holds a Ph.D., was certified as a Jungian analyst in São Paulo, Brazil in 2006, and is now a member of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. She is also a Certified Sandplay Therapist through the Sandplay Therapists of America (STA) and the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST).

Trilingual in English, German, and Portuguese, Dr. Anderson brings a truly international profile to her practice. She trained in active imagination with German Jungian analyst Ingrid Riedel, is a founding member of the Brazilian Sandplay group, and has published in sandplay journals across four countries. She uses Painting Inner Images as a process for accessing unconscious content with clients and in painting workshops offered twice yearly through the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles.

In her psychotherapeutic practice, Dr. Anderson works individually with clients, drawing on Jungian therapy, sandplay therapy, active imagination, and painting inner images. Her work is grounded in the belief that images — not words — are the language of the unconscious, and that the individuation process is a journey into one's own depth, fostering self-knowledge and the development of one's innate capacities.
