Katherine Olivetti

Katherine Olivetti has remembered her dreams since she was a child, and has been recording them since early adulthood. She was born in New York City, the eldest of six children. She grew up in the suburbs of Manhattan and went to Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart, a private college for women in Purchase, New York. She began her studies as a mathematics major, but switched to French, and later studied psychology as a graduate student. Katherine is a Jungian analyst and writer who earned her graduate degrees from Columbia University and completed psychoanalytic training at the C. G. Jung Institute of New York, where she became its president. She completed family therapy training at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, completed the Institutes of Religion and Health’s program in pastoral counseling, a year-long course at Stanford University on the mind and the brain, and a leadership program with the Coach Training Institute. She taught and supervised at Yale Medical School, and the C. G. Jung Institutes of New York, San Francisco, and Catania, Sicily. From 2012-2018 she was the Editor-in-chief of Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche and conducts an online seminar on writing and editing for Jungian analysts. She has lectured and written about dream work, clinical process, creativity, spirituality, writing and editing. When she is not working as a psychoanalyst, Katherine loves to cook, spend time with her family, and hang out with her nine year old Australian Shepherd, Patch.

Katherine maintains a private psychotherapy and psychoanalysis practice in Atherton, California and a website and blog at: www.katherineolivetti.com.
