What does therapy look like with an Art Therapist?
During an art therapy session, clients engage in making art, guided by a licensed art therapist. We’ll explore themes and insights in response to your creative exploration. Sometimes, you may only want to talk, that’s okay too!
Often times, I’ll infuse art therapy with evidence-based “talk” therapy techniques such as; EMDR, DBT Skills and Mindfulness. This collaborative process fosters greater emotion regulation, awareness, and personal growth.
