SUPERVISION
I currently provide supervision through the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis,Free Association Clinic, Berkeley Therapy Institute, and occasionally other clinics to both pre- and post-licensure clinicians. Supervision is available to clinicians at any stage of training either to help them accrue hours toward their license or to deepen their understanding of a particular approach to clinical work. The supervision I provide, like my other clinical work, is informed by the integration of existential philosophy and psychoanalysis.

Jerzy Kaufmann, PhD., Registered Psychological Associate #94029045
We find our way to therapy along numerous paths, carrying with us our own personal wishes and goals, and unique “languages” for what we experience, think, and feel. It is therefore essential for our own therapies to be ours – spaces in which we can come to better see, know, and be ourselves, and be empowered and joined in doing so. Whether you come to therapy for aid in overcoming distress or challenges, or support in a process of self-discovery and greater authenticity, your experiences deserve to be accepted and understood in your own terms, so that you, yourself, can get your arms around them, and feel equipped to take them on.
My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative. I join the people I work with in putting words, understanding, and meaning to their experiences. I believe that through cultivating this kind of progressive understanding, we can better take charge of the way that we relate to people, situations, and, perhaps most importantly, ourselves. I strive to listen closely and let folks know what I’m hearing from them, encouraging our therapy to take place in the present moment and point towards the future, and bringing another perspective to what’s going on, and what might be done or done differently. In my practice, I work most frequently with people unfulfilled by and wanting to improve their relationships, trying to better understand themselves during life transitions or identity development, or who are dealing with painful or sticky emotional experiences that they’ve struggled to resolve on their own.

Tyler Gamlen, PhD
Tyler W. Gamlen, MA, is a doctoral student in clinical psychology completing his pre-doctoral internship at the Free Association Clinic under the supervision of Dr. James Norwood, PhD (CA License #33379). His work focuses on helping individuals navigate the complexities of being human in an often overwhelming and unpredictable world. Tyler has experience in clinical, academic, and community settings, supporting adults aged 18–65 with challenges such as depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, trauma, and existential crises. He provides both in-person and Telehealth appointments for individuals, couples, and groups, as well as psychological assessments.
Drawing from psychodynamic, existential, relational, narrative, and constructivist traditions, he approaches therapy as a space for honest exploration and transformation. Tyler works with clients to understand how their struggles are shaped by their cultural context and relational patterns, while also helping them clarify what matters most in their lives. Tyler’s practice is grounded in a commitment to cultural humility, social justice, and the belief that healing often begins by being deeply seen and heard.
Beyond the consulting room, Tyler serves as the director of operations at The Corps of Depth Healers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing contemporary social crises through the application of depth psychology. Recently, he assumed the role of Founding Chapter & Clinical Director for the Nevada chapter of A Home Within, a national organization that offers free, long-term depth therapy to foster youth, both current and former. He is also a student representative on the Existential Movement International Advisory Board and the APA Division 32 Society for Humanistic Psychology Executive Board.

Leah Carranza Iracleous, PhD
Dr. Iracleous earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is a Postdoctoral Psychological Associate (registration # PSB 94028788) supervised by Dr. James Norwood (CA License #33379).

With a background in social justice and working with marginalized individuals, Dr. Iracleous understands that our emotional lives unfold within broader cultural and systemic forces. She honors each patient’s lived experience and strives to create a space where people feel deeply seen, understood, and safe enough to explore their most tender fears, longings, thoughts, and fantasies.
Her clinical passions include working with couples and infidelity, sexuality, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and the integration of psychedelic experiences. With an attachment-based and depth psychology-orientation, she supports patients to cultivate a more secure, grounded, and authentic sense of self.
Dr. Iracleous currently offers virtual therapy for patients located anywhere in California.
