ART THERAPY SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL ART THERAPY
Individual therapy is a collaborative healing process with you and the therapist. In this one-on-one setting you and the therapist will endeavor to enhance your life and enable you to thrive amidst challenge. The therapist will join you and help uncover the obstacles that lie between your present state and a feeling of well-being. In therapy you will nurture self-awareness and self-compassion. Common reasons people seek individual therapy include depression, anxiety, stress, abuse, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
COUPLES ART THERAPY
Couples counseling can be beneficial for couples seeking to improve their relationship and gain insight into the dynamics of the relationship. The therapist will work collaboratively with the couple to determine therapeutic goals and develop a plan for therapy. Often the therapist will work with the couple to develop healthy communication and problem solving skills. The couple will learn to better understand one another and be a support for each other. There are many reasons why couples choose to seek counseling. Some of the reasons are infidelity, communication issues, life adjustments, sexual dissatisfaction, parenting, separation/divorce, and premarital counseling.
FAMILY ART THERAPY
In family art therapy sessions, I work with the unit as a whole to identify and process dynamic family issues through art. Each member has a voice. We will work together to find creative solutions for tense subjects - moving into a place of love, safety and acceptance.
CORPORATE WELLNESS
