Children

Children often independently express themselves through the use of creativity and play.  Expressive arts therapy is used as a tool to communicate and collaborate with clients.  Often art making serves to decrease anxiety, increase self-esteem and increase communication.  Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.  If needed, collaboration with parents/guardians, schools, pediatricians and other collaterals is ongoing.  Individual and small group art, play and expressive therapy sessions are available. 

Adolescents

Adolescence is often a time of managing peer interactions, balancing an increase in academic work, and learning to navigate life's ups and downs.  Through the use of both traditional therapy alongside art/expressive therapy, teens can engage in increased self-advocacy, self-esteem building and managing stress.  Increasing independence and managing self-help skills can provide engaging support in which to help teens better navigate these sometime challenging few years.  

Adults
​Life changes, work stressors, anxiety, depression, social expectations, balancing family life.....all a part of managing life as adults.  Expressing oneself through the collaborative use of art and/or more traditional verbal therapy can serve to ease the overwhelming feelings of managing daily life.  Finding a safe place to reflect and making the time to engage and process can help to alleviate challenges.
