Art Therapy for Professionals

Art therapy presents a unique opportunity to process the stresses of our work. We offer therapeutic services to address these very specific needs.

Individual Art Therapy
We approach working with other professionals from an inter-subjective perspective and encourage open communication regarding your personal goals for treatment. We can provide brief, solution-focused therapy to deal with a specific work or client issue. Like more traditional talk therapy, art therapy involves forming a professional relationship with a therapist to help you with specific problems.  The art provides a different perspective for viewing behavioral patterns, emotional response, and core beliefs that inform how you live your life and approach your work. 

Supportive Art Therapy Groups
We offer several on-going and short-term groups for professionals working with traumatized clients or in toxic work environments. Our approach integrates art therapy interventions with best-practice models for trauma treatment to ameliorate the negative impact of clients’ trauma on the professional’s own well-being. We believe that creative expression can raise self-awareness, balance emotions, reduce stress. We also provide more didactic trainings and supervision.
