About Us
About Rising Signs Psychology Group
Rising Signs Psychology Group is a soul-centered online practice offering clinical psychotherapy services to people across California, and spiritual emergence support to people everywhere.
About Rising Signs Psychology Group
Founded and directed by Dr. Jay Pietrzak, a licensed clinical psychologist and long-time student of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, our practice integrates evidence-based psychological care with somatic and spiritual modalities—grounded in an openness to the deeper meanings behind human suffering and transformation.
Our team includes postdoctoral Registered Psychological Associates working under Dr. Pietrzak’s close supervision. We specialize in the treatment of trauma-related conditions—particularly anxiety and depression—as well as in supporting individuals navigating experiences often labeled (accurately or not) as psychotic.
While some of these experiences may reflect pathology, we also recognize their potential to signal emerging transformation, especially when held with care and discernment.
The Meaning of “Rising Signs”
The name Rising Signs is inspired by esoteric astrology, where the rising sign is understood not merely as a personality descriptor (as in popular astrology), but as an expression of soul purpose—the direction of growth and service in this lifetime. In this spirit, our work supports clients not only in symptom relief, but in aligning with the deeper call of the soul.
A Flexible, Integrative Approach to Healing
We are grounded in the foundational principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), often considered the gold standard in psychological treatment due to its measurability and manualized interventions. CBT is highly effective for addressing specific, well-defined issues—and we apply its structure thoughtfully across much of our work.
That said, most people do not arrive in therapy with neatly labeled concerns. More often, they come as complex and layered beings—”mixed bags,” as we like to say. This is where the art and science of therapy become truly eclectic.
Our approach is integrative, drawing inspiration from depth psychology, somatic therapies, mindfulness-based interventions, and the work of eclectic method pioneers like Carl Jung and Roberto Assagioli. We tailor our interventions to the whole person, supporting healing on somatic, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual levels.
Beyond Therapy: Courses, Intensives, and Resources
In addition to individual and group therapy, Rising Signs offers:
- Courses for self-development, including teachings inspired by transpersonal psychology and the Ageless Wisdom tradition
- Short workshops on how to be a more empowered, collaborative therapy client—valuable whether you are working with Rising Signs or another provider
- Half-day intensives, offered both online and in Topanga, California, for those seeking a deeper immersion into healing and inner work
We also invite you to explore Dr. Jay’s blog, where he shares reflections on healing, consciousness, and group service. Our Resources page offers curated readings, meditations, and educational material to support your journey—whether you are seeking clinical care or exploring personal transformation.

At Rising Signs Psychology Group, our mission is to support the healing and evolution of the whole person.
