About

Thanks for checking out my profile.

I'm Dr. Deborah Lukovich, and I'm a depth psychology coach, which is kind of between a therapist and a coach. I'm passionate about teaching clients the language of the unconscious so they can tap into another source of wisdom that hides from the mind.

Before I met Deborah I was in a very dark and stuck place and was not able to recognize the verbal abuse that I was experiencing in a close relationship. I felt I had no power. Every single session with Deborah was so helpful. She made me feel like I was important and helped me find my voice and stand up for myself and helped me know that I could make choices that were best for me. Active imagination and dream work was very helpful as was her voice of confidence in me through each step. She helped me understand my emotions and taught me how to take a step back and ask myself “What’s going on? What is this emotion trying to tell me?” I learned that I do matter and that I have a voice and a say. I can now see the truth in a situation. I no longer accept blame that isn’t mine and I now longer apologize for taking up space.  I learned I could choose for myself and stick to that no matter what anyone else said. I’m taking my power and my voice back and it has made a great difference in my life.

My therapist recommended Deborah when a series of vivid dreams got my attention, including one where something kept coming out of my nose. It freaked me out! I never knew my dreams were a way my unconscious was trying to tell me something, and I’m still getting used to the idea that people who show up in my dreams represent aspects of me. I’m still learning. It’s not about interpretation, and Deborah has taught me how to explore them on my own. I’m learning to trust an organic knowing about where the metaphor or symbol is in my life. Exploring my dreams is helping me on my journey to heal and better myself, and I already feel deeper connection with myself, my unconscious, my past, and parts of me that want to come out.

I Hit The Lottery When I found Deborah

I wanted to understand the origins of all sorts of patterns. Deborah's combination of expertise in exploring the unconscious AND skill as a coach has led to a thorough understanding of what drives me. And I'm just getting going. From day one, Deborah's insights on past experiences that I had long ago laughed off have been eye-opening. I now see the world and myself in it differently, and I'm curious about the deeper meaning in all sorts of things, even why I'm attracted to certain films, why I keep having the same dream, or synchronicities that occur between sessions. And it's fun! More...

Reconnecting with my artist self
Not knowing how to talk with my wife about intimacy issues is what brought me to Deborah. Our sessions prompted so many insights about how I had shown up in past relationships, and even though my marriage ended, I’m more confident about knowing and communicating my needs and being able to opt out of toxic relationships in a way that doesn’t make my partner the bad guy. Deborah’s talent for guided active imagination and exploring dreams, along with my new commitment to meditation and journaling helped me reconnect with my artist self, which has been exciting. What surprised me most was how quickly I was able to open my mind, body, and spirit to a former self even during a trying time.

"My world got rocked!"

“After my divorce, I was lost, and nothing made sense anymore. I didn’t know anything about Depth Psychology and drawing my dream during one of Deborah’s workshops made me feel silly, but something shifted in me. I hardly recognize myself after three years of allowing my dreams to guide our sessions and my journey.

Working through this book is like having Deborah right there with you—as storyteller, teacher, guide, and cheerleader.”

Sometimes we don’t even know what we need . . . until we find it. A friend thought Dr. Deborah would have some good advice for me as an aspiring author. By the end of our networking chat, I had hired her, but I wasn’t sure why.

During our first session, things just spontaneously came up, things I thought had been put in their place. Deborah taught me how to explore these pieces of me in a way that changed the story I had been telling myself.

For as long as I can remember, I have thought that I was incomplete, but after one of our sessions, I went on a hike, and I had what I call a 100% experience. I felt as though my feet were not touching the ground, and the sunlight was brighter. Suddenly, I knew I wasn’t lacking anything–I had always been 100% complete.

Dr. Deborah has given me a way to see myself differently, given me tools that will not only help me write my book but will continue to change the way I look at things for the rest of my life. Forever grateful.

I started therapy at the age of nine and have never been able to be truthful in any fashion without fear of being labelled. I had many therapists, psychiatrist and psychologist throughout my life but I couldn’t open up. I had become use to sitting in the “chair” and telling someone who clearly wouldn’t understand; the same story I had practiced at home with my mother since I was nine. I was going through a period in life where I had to face a harsh reality. I knew I couldn’t do it alone. I needed to be dig deeper and trust. I opened up to my sister and she shared Deborah’s information. We set up a call and as soon as I spoke with Deborah I felt comfortable, understood and heard. I wasn’t broken I just hadn’t learned the framework for how to handle my trauma. Deborah has helped me enhance my relationships with family and friends. I’ve been more creative and even published a project I never thought I would. I feel like I have more hope a new path. I even have moved from a toxic work environment to a much better place. If it hadn’t been for our sessions I wouldn’t have realized that I was even in a toxic environment. Thank you Deborah! You’re my favorite one. More...

Before I started sessions with Dr. Deborah I was really feeling at odds with myself, not confident in my direction post-retirement. The time we spent exploring my unconscious, in particular analyzing some interesting dreams I had, really opened me up to receive the self-contained wisdom inside me. Deborah doesn't point out the truths in your unconscious mind, she helps you exercise the tools you need to discover them for yourself. As a result of this process I am feeling much more confident in myself and the decisions that I make. More...

Working with Dr. Lukovich is an absolute pleasure. I always find myself with new things to ponder, new perspectives to examine and new tools to help me understand the stressors and even joys in my life. She has helped me understand more about myself than I could alone. Highly recommend. More...

Q&As

I love inspiring people to be curious about their unique experience of being a human being. CG Jung suggested that the fate of humanity depends upon the self-reflecting individual. Your self-reflection, your working out of parental complexes, your spiritual and psychological growth when it comes to relationship, your finding purpose in life, it all contributes to the evolving consciousness of humanity. That's how important you are!

I've been an entrepreneur since I was ten when I proudly declared that I had a babysitting dynasty. I bought into a frame shop in college and lost my money. I learned how to run a business as a financial planner. After losing a job leading a nonprofit, I started a consulting company to teach small nonprofits what the big boy nonprofits knew how to do, but on a tighter budget. Then I had a midlife unraveling, and my calling to study depth psychology happened alongside the falling apart of my marriage and business. I lived all the concepts in real time. I didn't know what the heck I was going to do with my PhD, so I called it expensive therapy for a while. Then I discovered my new purpose - to build a movement of self-reflecting humans. Are you ready for your journey?

Clients who sense they can't think their way out of whatever glass ceiling is holding them back from fully unfolding as their true Self. If you're open to a wisdom deep in your unconscious, if you're willing to surrender to the feminine realm, which is not direct or linear, rather mysterious, juicy, intense, creative, then you'll love the way of CG Jung's individuation journey.

Services

This service is for clients who don't have an immediate challenge or crisis. They're looking for a different perspective, a new framework, and they have the luxury of planning ahead for a big change they sense is coming.

Our sessions start with interesting events, move to working with dreams, synchronicities, or fantasy images, and then move to active imagination as a way to get some guidance from the unconscious.

This service is more intense, clients schedule sessions weekly or every other week.

We'll start with specific concerns, which will lead us to the root of deep seated patterns of thinking and behaving, which may have worked in the past, but now are obstacles.

The client will gradually recognize all the ways their unconscious is trying to get their attention, including through anxiety and depression, illness and injury, dreams and obsessive behavior.

Amazing insights will occur, and as a coach, I will challenge you to be vulnerable as you try new things to unfold into the new version of you.

For those with urgent need to disrupt co-dependent situations, get to the bottom of emotional triggers, and struggling to determine whether to leave a relationship.

Sometimes my clients need me between sessions to help them explore the deeper meaning of their emotional response to something.

So, they send me a text or an email describing the situation and then I offer my perspective, relevant resources, and ideas on how to explore what's beneath the surface.

Other clients who are exploring their sexuality or gender find it easier to bare their soul via journaling or they want support after moments of intense and confusing experiences.

Others can't wait to explore a dream. I get them started by focusing them on the symbolic nature of the dream images.

Other clients want timely feedback on a triggering situation. Some couples share audio recordings of conversations that are difficult for them. I help them debrief via email.

What do you chat about with your girl pals? Come on, be honest. Sex, dreams, fantasies, the false promise of satisfaction for fitting into convention? Let's have some fun exploring the deeper meaning of your angst and unleash the creativity that's seeking expression.
