Art Therapy uses art-making and other expressive techniques accessing the transformational power of the creative process.

Art Psychotherapy:

By bringing our personal imagery into therapy, we explore and resolve issues in creative, and sometimes unexpected, ways. Effective in addressing depression, anxiety and stress, body image, bereavement, relationship issues, life transitions, and creative blocks, art therapy is a primary form of counseling as well as a complement to traditional psychotherapy. Also offering specialized support for infertility and pregnancy loss.

Sessions include in-depth discussions, as well as the use of art materials best suited to focus on particular issues. No art experience is needed.

At the Art Therapy Studio, we also offer workshops and clinical supervision.
