Nikoo Chamani, Founder and Clinical Art Therapist.
Theory’s such as attachment have taught me that our peace, sense of well-being and life decisions are all dependent on our psychological needs. These needs are all shaped in the very first days of our lives. All that we needed back then was to be heard, to be loved, and to be worthy. Nikoo is a certified supervisor and provides clinical supervision.

Emotion Focused Therapy and Art Therapy also inform the way I work, tailored to your needs.
Life doesn't come with a user's guide and all of us struggle at times. In looking for a therapist you have taken a step toward finding greater ease in your life. Psychotherapy is about building a greater awareness and understanding of your patterns in life. This allows you to find a sense of spaciousness where, rather than act reactively, you can make more conscious choices and cultivate a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself often feeling anxious or depressed, held back by past traumas, not living the life you want, or lacking direction, then please reach out so I can support you in finding the change you need.

Since 'coming to Know' is a process, rather than something to be achieved, we are less interested in the outcome of the art and more interested in what we 'come to Know' along the way, through the creative inquiry.
I am passionate about supporting those on a journey of inner healing, growth, discovery and transformation. I am in service of those who ready to connect to the truth of their inner nature, explore their sense of purpose, and develop the unique and innate gifts they came to share with the world.
