Rodney Karr, PhD

Dr Karr was one of the most interesting therapists I’ve ever come across.
He really seems to be an amazing specialist.

Dr. Karr is one of the best psychotherapists I have seen in my life. His background in Jungian analysis, coupled with his more current studies in Cognitive-​Behavioral Therapy and other modlities, have made my experiecne with him one of the highest productivity and lowest «BS» counseling experiences ever. Because I also work in the field, I get credit hours for being in therapy. Dr. Karr, unlike some of the folks with whom I’ve woked, has a very direct, garbage-​free way of listenign and talking with me about any of my issues that come up. I really appreciate both his scientific stance and his immersion in a background of spirituality. It is very consistent with Jung, and it has opened new vistas for me. And sometimes Dr Karr is just a good ear to hear me vent, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. If you have hangups about Jung or with people’s spiritualities, Dr. Karr might not be the best fit for you. But if you think of people as whole persons — body, mind, and spirit — and you want a minimum of psychobabble and a maximum of effective therapy, Dr. Karr is your guy.

I am a longtime client of Dr. Karr. Rodney provides wonderful care and support of my emotional well being. I am grateful for his gentleness of spirit, the loving and safe environment he creates, his experience, and his guidance through challenging issues and difficult times. I am facing deeper challenges, growing and flourishing as a result — in part — of my work with Rodney. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr Karr is a very compassionate and caring therapist and psychologist. I have seen several mental health professionals in my life, and he has, by far, helped me the most. He incorporates both traditional and non-​traditional techniques into his practice, which I find highly effective. If you’re a sensitive soul, this is the man for you.

I found Dr. Karr on Unilocal and decided to go see him. I was seeking some tools in anger management but what he offered was not what I was interested in.
Dr. Karr suggested a Sundance ritual where participants are hung from hooks. «You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to,» he told me, «you can just watch.» (uhhh…) He suggested vision-​inducing sweat lodges. He invited me to his retreat in Placerville, California to take part in a very bizarre religious ritual (he left out the «bizarre religious ritual» part when he invited me) where some of it’s participants were speaking in tongues.
If you are into this stuff then knock yourself out. I find that Dr. Karr keeps the Celtic priest, «pagan psychology» site separate from the Dr. Karr «Jungian psychologist». You should be aware that they are the same person.
Be sure to check out the (archived) site he doesn’t seem to want Unilocalers to see. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Dr. Rodney Karr is an excellent therapist! I have been a client of his for the past 4 years.
I have seen 4 therapists in the past 15 years and Dr. Karr was the first and only one that I felt would truly challenge me emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually while at the same time support me through those journeys. His insights are provocative and his feedback meaningful.
We developed rapport quickly and easily and at the same time Dr. Karr has remained professionally detached.
I started seeing Dr. Karr during a particularly troubling transition in my life and I was feeling cut off from enjoying and experiencing life. An important part of my spiritual practice had been an inipi ceremony, commonly referred to as a «sweat lodge», and I had not been participating for some time. Dr. Karr encouraged me to get back in touch with this purification ceremony and this suggestion was invaluable. Every aspect of my life is enriched as a result of this suggestion and I am forever grateful to Dr. Karr for seeing how important this was to my inner life.
I highly recommend anyone see Dr. Rodney Karr!

Rodney is an amazing person and psychologist. He’s obviously very experienced as a therapist and offers valuable insights on subtle nuances that I believe others would typically miss. Rodney is fully present in our meetings and offers a refreshingly different perspective than I would otherwise get in my day to day life. Without a doubt, I can recommend Dr. Karr to others who are seeking to grow and blossom as individuals.

I liked Rodney as soon as I met him; I could tell that he «got» not only me but what I was hoping to explore and talk about — on more levels than one. His personality, demeanor, attention and memory (I’m always impressed when he remembers a character in my life that I’ve mentioned only once in passing) and additionally his wonderful office (I could spend hours exploring the books and treasures he’s collected) make me instantly comfortable and I sincerely look forward to seeing him each week, and am disappointed if I have to miss an appointment.
His conversational technique and sincere interest in who you are and how you are doing are, I think, quite unique and special and make me very happy to have found this person. Rodney is a magical and perceptive soul that anyone would be lucky to have in their life.
