Therapy and Counseling

Through integrative methods, art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone.

Kinesthetic, sensory, perceptual, and symbolic opportunities invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Visual and symbolic expression gives voice to experience and empowers individual, communal, and societal transformation.

Play is fun, creative, and critical to healthy development.

Play Therapy differs from regular play in that the therapist helps the child systematically address and resolve their own problems. Play allows a safe psychological distance from the problems and allows the child to express their true thoughts and feelings in ways best suited to their development level.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be thought of as a physiologically based therapy that helps a person see disturbing material in a new and less distressing way.

EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

CPT is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (treatment that focuses on thoughts and feelings) for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, and related conditions.
