Services
Adult Therapy
Our adult therapy program combines traditional psychotherapy with creative expression to address anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation challenges. Using mindfulness techniques and art therapy, we help clients access subconscious emotions that traditional talk therapy might miss. This integrative approach has proven effective for clients who previously found therapy unsuccessful, offering new pathways to emotional balance and self-understanding.
Child Therapy
Specialized child therapy services use play and artistic expression to help young clients process emotions and develop social skills. Our approach addresses adoption issues, divorce-related trauma, and behavioral challenges through creative sanctuary techniques. We work with children aged 3-18, including those with autism spectrum disorders, providing tools for emotional expression and conflict resolution in developmentally appropriate ways.
Special Needs Therapy
Our special needs therapy program addresses autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and developmental disabilities through individualized treatment plans. Using art-based communication methods, we help clients with non-traditional information processing develop emotional awareness and social skills. The program focuses on building self-esteem and reducing anxiety through structured creative activities tailored to each client's unique needs.
Art Therapy
Art therapy sessions utilize drawing, painting, and symbolic expression to access subconscious emotions and resolve psychological conflicts. This evidence-based practice helps clients express feelings that words alone cannot convey, particularly effective for trauma recovery and stress reduction. Our board-certified therapists guide clients through creative processes that promote neural pathway development and emotional healing.
Master Art Therapy Supervision
We offer advanced supervision programs for licensed art therapists and mental health professionals seeking expertise in creative therapy techniques. The program covers symbolic interpretation, mindfulness integration, and specialized approaches for treating complex mental health conditions. Supervision includes both theoretical instruction and practical application of the creative sanctuary model developed through 40 years of clinical practice.
