I use a gentle, intuitive approach to support clients through challenging life experiences. My warm, engaging style helps people feel at ease. As an art therapist, I invite clients—if they wish—to explore art materials as an optional way to deepen self-understanding. Use of art in sessions is always voluntary.
As an art therapist, I encourage clients to consider Art materials to further explore their possibilities; although the use of Art is voluntary & not required. I believe that people have the inner resources to overcome their current challenges/problems. I act as a guide to help clients access those hidden strengths and resources to improve their Lives.
Are you curious? Does Art Therapy intrigue you? Call for a 20 minute Free phone consultation to find out if my approach will work for you. If you need a Face to Face consultation before deciding to come for therapy, that’s no problem. We can arrange to meet in a local Café for a FREE initial consultation to discuss how Art Therapy might work for you.
Call or Deborah Allain now for a free 15 minute consultation - (438) 834-2896
