I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist specializing in Art Therapy...."ok Colleen, what does that mean?".
So glad you asked!
Art Therapy is:
A psychotherapeutic practice that is a blend of psychotherapy and art making
It aims to help address a wide range of emotional issues and can help move the therapeutic process along through greater authentic self-expression and use of symbolism
It can be affective to use with anyone, and you don’t have to have any artistic background to gain benefit
So, if you've ever
Thought that you’d like to learn more creative ways to express and understand yourself
Been interested in developing your use of intuition and unconscious thought
Wanted a way to express emotions but haven't had the right words
Had another therapy experience where you felt stuck just talking, like you don’t know what to bring up next or where to focus?
Then Art Therapy may be a helpful tool forward for you!

Always remember...
Art Therapy techniques can be incorporated into your regular Individual Sessions or even Telehealth sessions on a regular or intermittent basis, or not at all.
There is never any pressure to use Art Therapy in your time with me, and it would be something that you and I would decide upon together.
So, do we have to do art if I work with you? Nope. You choose your goals and I will be a guide in that journey.
So, how do I know if I should try it or that it will be helpful to me? Art therapists can differ widely in their approach, but I find it most useful for adults as a tool of self-care, self-reflection, and self-growth. Sometimes talk therapy doesn’t feel like its digging deep enough, and so Art Therapy can step in.
