Puddi Lareau

Puddi Lareau is a licensed professional counselor and Jungian analyst in private practice in Colorado Springs, Colorado, bringing over thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist. She holds a Master of Arts in Agency Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and earned her Diplomate as a Jungian Analyst from the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts (IRSJA) in 2012, having completed training through the Denver Seminar as well as programs in Albuquerque and Chicago.

Lareau currently serves as President of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and is a member of the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado and the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Her initial clinical training focused on anxiety, depression, and addictions treatment in hospital and community corrections settings, from which she developed a private practice oriented toward deeper psychological transformation.

While Jungian analysis forms the core of her clinical work, Lareau draws upon a diverse therapeutic repertoire that includes Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodrama, and Existential and Solution-Focused methods. Her approach emphasizes the psychoanalytic exploration of unconscious material as a path toward individuation, serving clients from Denver south to Pueblo along Colorado's Front Range.
