About Julina Rundberg

My basic approach to therapy is to invite people to say all of their thoughts and feelings.  In my experience, this process allows us to learn new things about ourselves, experience a new sense of freedom, and discover our own curiosity, satisfaction and authenticity.  As one of my favorite psychoanalytic theorists says: “Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself, and to relate as oneself, and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation.”

Julina Rundberg is the principal and founder of the Back Bay Analytic Group.  Her interest in Psychoanalysis began shortly after completing her studies in Philosophy and Psychology at Middlebury College in Vermont.  Ultimately, her desire to understand the human experience through the rich interplay of arts, humanities, and sciences led her to Psychoanalytic training in Boston, which is now her home.  She enjoys cooking, yoga, running, and walking along the Charles River with her Old English Sheepdog, Odin.

She believes that essential qualities in a therapist are patience, tenacious curiosity, compassion, and intellect.  She is a Doctoral Candidate at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, and a member in good standing of the Society of Modern Psychoanalysts, a Candidate Member of the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis, and of the APA’s Division 39 (Psychoanalysis).
