Thoughtful psychological support for when life feels hard to carry.

Rooted in depth, grounded in everyday life
People often reach out when something in their life has become difficult to carry. You may be living with persistent anxiety, low mood, or emotional exhaustion, or you may feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand and can’t seem to shift. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself or others, or quietly distressed while continuing to function on the outside.
You don’t need to know why this is happening to begin.
You don’t need to have words for it yet.
You don’t need to be ready for insight or change.
My work offers a steady, reflective space where we can take time to explore what you are experiencing, at a pace that feels manageable, without pressure to improve, perform, or arrive at conclusions too quickly.

I offer a steady, thoughtful space for individuals, couples, and groups who are experiencing emotional strain, relationship difficulties, or a sense of being stuck in familiar patterns that no longer feel manageable.
This work is informed by Jungian and depth psychology and is oriented toward understanding inner life - including emotional patterns, recurring themes, dreams, relationships, and moments that feel charged, confusing, or unresolved.
In practice, this means we talk together about what is present in your life now, while also gently noticing how inner dynamics and lived experience may be shaping the way things feel. Rather than focusing on fixing or diagnosing, the emphasis is on meaning, understanding, and developing a more coherent relationship with yourself. The aim is not to change who you are, but to help life feel more understandable and more your own.
This work may be a good fit if you are:
This space welcomes people from many backgrounds, with or without prior experience in depth psychology.

Relationships can become painful places, even when there is love, history, or a genuine desire to stay connected. Many people reach out when communication has broken down, emotional closeness feels strained, trust has been shaken, or physical intimacy no longer feels easy or safe.
I work with couples and relationship constellations who are struggling with emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, mismatched desire, or patterns that leave one or more partners feeling unseen, lonely, or misunderstood. Often, what brings people here is not the absence of care, but the difficulty of staying connected when old wounds, fear, or resentment begin to take over.
Our conversations focus on slowing things down enough to understand what is happening between you - emotionally, relationally, and physically - so that new ways of relating can begin to emerge. This includes making room to speak about desire, intimacy, power, shame, and repair in a way that feels thoughtful, respectful, and grounded.
The aim is to help your connection feel more emotionally attuned, more honest, and more workable in everyday life, including in emotional and physical connection where that matters to you.
Vitality, Mystery, and the Creative Spark
I view Eros as the life force that breathes vitality into love. Eros is not limited to sexuality - it is the energy of imagination, play, mystery, and longing. It is the source of renewal in both relationship and self.
Together, we make space for the erotic as a dimension of aliveness. We explore what invites desire, what sustains attraction, and how the creative spirit moves through your connection. In this space, desire is welcomed as a form of sacred communication between two evolving souls.
Through this work, your relationship can become a vessel for conscious love - where both partners feel more seen, more free, and more connected to their inner truth. The couple becomes not just a bond, but a living symbol of the sacred marriage between Soul and Soul.

Jung opened the door to a psychology that takes inner life seriously - dreams, symbols, emotions, and the patterns that shape our relationships. His work has helped many people understand that what troubles us often carries meaning, and that paying attention to the psyche can soften what feels stuck and deepen how we live.

Life moves fast - full of duties, noise, and the pressure to keep going. But beneath the surface lives a quieter question: Who is living this life? We are the city - its makers, its dreamers, its dwellers - but often forget our own center. This work is a return to the one inside who longs to live with meaning, not just momentum. It’s a way of rooting your inner truth in the heart of daily life.

This is a calm, unhurried space where you can speak freely and take your time.
Beyond methods or techniques, what often helps most is being met with steady attention and respect.
We follow what feels most present: thoughts, emotions, relationships, bodily states, dreams, or questions that keep returning, without pressure to arrive at answers too quickly.
I don’t lead with a diagnosis. I listen for the soul.
I’m Monica Scoville, and my work is shaped by Jungian and archetypal psychology, with close attention to emotional life, relationships, and the body as places where meaning is lived rather than abstracted.
I hold an MA in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies from the University of Essex and am currently completing my professional counseling training in the U.S. under supervision, with prior clinical experience in the UK. My training also includes modern psychoanalytic and relational approaches, which inform how I think about attachment, unconscious communication, and the emotional field that forms between people.
Alongside individual work, I have a particular interest in working with couples, throuples, and groups, especially where relational dynamics feel complex, charged, or difficult to speak about openly. My approach to relational work is influenced by both Jungian and contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives and attends closely to patterns of connection, conflict, desire, power, and repair. I also welcome conversations around sexuality and intimacy, including desire, shame, conflict, and the ways these experiences intersect with identity and emotional life.
My background includes training in sandplay, trauma-informed relational approaches, dream work, group analysis, and embodied methods such as Body Dreaming with Marian Dunlea, all of which support a way of listening that stays grounded in lived experience rather than abstraction.
I created Jung and the City as a space where inner life and outer life meet, where psychological depth remains connected to real relationships and everyday life, and where reflection does not require stepping outside the world to be meaningful.
If something here resonates, I would be glad to walk alongside you as you listen inward and find ways to bring what matters into your life as it is being lived.

We focus on what feels most present for you, at a pace that feels manageable.
There’s no right way to show up - we begin from wherever you are.
If something here feels quietly reassuring, or like a small exhale, that may be enough.
You don’t need certainty, clarity, or a clear plan to begin. Feeling that this pace and way of working could be supportive is often all it takes.
This is not therapy in the clinical or medical sense - though it may feel just as deep, if not deeper. My work is grounded in depth psychology, psychoanalytic thinking, and years of experience as a therapist in the UK, where I supported individuals in therapeutic communities and long-term healing settings.
Here in the U.S., I now offer soul-centered mentoring and psycho-spiritual guidance outside of the formal therapy model. We focus not on diagnosis, but on meaning.and unfolding.
The exchange for a session at Jung and the City depends on the nature of our work—whether we meet individually or as a couple - and on your current financial circumstances.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes, with the average fee around $140. Sliding scale options are available when needed.
If you feel drawn to this work, reach out. We’ll find a fee that feels clear, fair, and supportive for both of us.
I offer sessions both in-person in PA or VA and online via Zoom.
Some people come for a short period of support, while others choose to continue over time because the space feels useful and steady. What matters most is that it feels supportive to you, and we check in together as things unfold.
I do not accept insurance directly.
Many clients choose to pay privately to protect the depth, privacy, and soul of this work.
