The desire is good. But if you have that low of a GPA in your undergrad, you will be hard pressed to get into a good Maters school. No PhD program will look at anything less than a 3.5 and usually even then you are at the bottom of the list.

Forget psychoanalytical training; it's not offered in graduate programs, is largely passe', and of little if any use. Most doctoral programs will not have a terminal master's degree, and you certainly don't need a master's to enter a doctoral program. A MA in psychology in some states will allow you to becomes licensed as a mental health counselor, and thus to provide therapy. Other states, however, have no such license and you'd find work in a state facility and that's about it. Almost any state university will have a good master's in psychology, so do lots of private universities. If you can narrow down your interest, find out how's doing research in that area, and then find out where they teach, you might find some more specific direction.
