In my art therapy sessions with children, I focus on a variety of goals that range from their behavior both at home and in school, fine motor skills, cognition, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and expression. For many children, art-making, play, writing, and creativity can facilitate self-expression, especially in a safe and non-intimidating environment.

Art therapy can be an impactful and approachable form of therapy for many teenagers as the creative integration in session provides a new outlet for expression and connection where words may be scarce. Teenagers can benefit greatly from the validation and independence that comes with art therapy.

As a young adult, you may have been experiencing the repercussions of anxiety and depression. With a thoughtful mix of CBT-focused art therapy*, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches, we can work together to increase your sense of self-esteem and well-being.

Family art therapy sessions can include parent and child, parents and children, and sibling art therapy. Art therapy directives are thoughtfully introduced to facilitate therapeutic dialogue on relational and individual challenges in hopes of fostering healthier, more supportive, and genuine familial dynamics.

*Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social therapeutic intervention that focuses on changing and developing new thinking patterns (cognition) by learning more about the ways that we interact with others, ourselves, and our environment (behavior). CBT incorporates various strategies that aim to aid a range of difficulties such as depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, various mental illnesses, relational challenges, eating disorders, etc. The incorporation of CBT techniques is contingent on the client's journey, needs, and goals. Incorporating art-making and art therapy with CBT can be an incredibly beneficial modality of therapy as we can creatively explore the goals of CBT.
