Brad Kochunas Astrology Services

About
Brad Kochunas is a retired licensed mental health counselor and therapeutic astrologer based in Middletown, SW Ohio. He spent three decades in prison mental health, integrating astrology and counseling into his approach to working with clients in difficult circumstances. Drawing on the archetypal perspectives of James Hillman, Rollo May, Thomas Moore, and Mircea Eliade, the work centers on depth astrology as a mythological and imaginative language for exploring the soul - rather than as a predictive or advice-giving tool. Sessions are offered as astrological consultations exploring the natal chart, or as ongoing astrotherapy for those navigating difficult life transitions. eConsults - writing-intensive online exchanges - are available for clients who prefer asynchronous work. Currently on sabbatical from in-person sessions; past clients and urgent inquiries are welcome to make contact.
