Life can be messy, and sometimes words just can't capture how you feel or what's on your mind.
Art therapy is a unique means of addressing personal exploration and healing with creative interventions, engagement, and reflection. Though many therapists offer simple art making to their clients, formal Art Therapy is a protected title provided by Registered Art Therapists like myself. Deep knowledge of the artmaking process, cultural perceptions of art, and human creative development are necessary to support you in developing your own language of expression, reclaiming your creative voice, and helping you communicate when words may not be enough.
Telehealth based Art Therapy sessions are conducted using video conferencing platforms that enable real-time interactions. This allows us to interact while you are working and I can be witness to your process and product, both of which are paramount in exploring deeper insight.
In our work, you can choose from a range of digital art applications that simulate traditional artistic mediums, such as painting, drawing, and sculpting, or use real life art materials. Though much of our work can be done with materials easily found around your home, I can make recommendations of additional materials you can purchase to enhance your therapeutic experience.
