<p>Recently I read Jung's Psychological Types out of self-questioning.

We try to discourage "self-help" questions on the site and this was right on the borderline as originally asked.  I removed those aspects so it can be answered more generally.  I'm not affiliated with them, and I don't necessarily think this is the best approach to find someone, but Psychology Today has lists of therapists that self-identify their treatment philosophies http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/, and there is a "Jungian" category.  I'm not entirely sure what that entails these days, but you could certainly message or call a few of them.
