Tel: 510-549-2130, Fax: 510-549-2130,   Email: anne@mackinney.net
In my practice and workshops in Berkeley my focus is on life-span developmental issues and how a life's calling is expressed--in relationships, creativity, vocation, fertility, pregnancy, birthing, adoption, parenting, work, life transitions, and illness--from conception through aging and death.
In San Francisco (as Anne Hubbell Maiden) I founded the Marina Counseling Center's transpersonal psychotherapy training program, co-directed the Institute for the Study of Conscious Evolution, and taught in the Psychosynthesis Institute.
My doctoral work was at the University of Michigan, and my research is reported in many articles and two books, The Tibetan Art of Parenting and Options for Healthy Birth. Currently I am co-authoring with a Tibetan physician Tibetan Healing Science.

Molly Young Brown, M.A., M.Div.
PO Box 1301, Mount Shasta, CA 96067
Tel: 530-926-0986
Website: www.MollyYoungBrown.com,   Email: molly@mollyyoungbrown.com
I seek to guide people in clarifying meaning and purpose in their lives, and in bringing their gifts more fully into the world, through phone counseling, on-line courses, and workshops.
My work is based primarily in the spiritual psychology of Psychosynthesis, which works with the suffering inherent in the human condition, while supporting our capacities for harmony, synthesis, and full expression of Spirit (however each person understands it).
I have also been strongly influenced by "deep ecology" and ecopsychology, both of which help people find strength and meaning through experiencing their interconnectedness with all life, and acting on its behalf.
