Art Therapy
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy designed to utilize art as a form of expression in psychotherapy. In the use of art in the deep work of the psyche, we are able to uncover material much deeper than words. We speak from our soul when we create art about our experiences and emotions. Often what surfaces in artistic expression far predates our ability to understand it on a conscious, verbal level. Therefore, art therapy is a powerful tool for healing wounds from early childhood and beyond and helps us masterfully dismantle intellectual ego protections that come up when we work intellectually.
Art Therapy is one of the only approved treatments for trauma for the VA (Veteran Affairs). Art Therapy allows you to process trauma in the visual format our brains store trauma memories and reprocess effectively so that the memories no longer haunt you.
We offer virtual support on your schedule and in the comfort of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, art therapy is focused on the process of creating, not the finished product. You will be a great candidate for art therapy if you are open to creating art to bypass intellectual and ego defenses that happen while trying to process through talking.
-
Art therapy is shown to be effective for treating PTSD and traumatic memories. It is also great for those that struggle with speaking their voice and boundaries as well as those that feel they aren’t getting the traction they want in talk therapy.
-
Yes. You just need some basic art materials and to be able to access a video call. Your therapist may ask to have you point the camera at your paper/canvas while you are creating at times.
