Sarah Hoagland

Sarah S. Hoagland, MA, LPC, is a certified Diplomate Jungian Analyst with over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist in Portland, Oregon. She trained at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, completing a rigorous program of coursework, research, written and oral examinations, supervised casework, and a thesis—alongside her own personal analysis. She has also completed BodySoul Rhythms Leadership Training under Marion Woodman, bringing a rare integration of theology, embodiment work, and classical Jungian analysis to her practice.

Sarah works as a relational psychotherapist with a developmental approach, drawing on attachment theory, relational trauma, and family-of-origin dynamics. She combines this with Jungian complex theory, exploring how unconscious patterns and beliefs keep people stuck in limiting stories and behaviors. She emphasizes the mind-body connection as central to healing and has specialized training in trauma and somatic work. As a Jungian Analyst, she approaches life from a symbolic attitude, working with dreams, images, and the personal myth as guides to the individuation process.

Her therapeutic style is grounded in active listening, compassion, and attunement to each client's strengths and deep feelings. She is interested in understanding how clients have made sense of their life experiences and how they have adapted to trauma and conditioning—then collaboratively challenging the beliefs and behavioral patterns that no longer serve them. She believes strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a humanizing agent for lasting change, and she offers an initial 50-minute consultation session at a flat fee of $100 to assess fit.
