Art Therapy in Glarus

Hello, my name is Natassa, I am a California Marriage and Family Associate Therapist, meaning I am qualified to work with people of all ages regarding concerns around important relationships, life changes, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I enjoy helping people to learn how to connect to themselves, others, and their values, but also to understand together the story of their past while creating hope for the future. I am passionate about supporting people to adjust their thinking/perspective, to learn ways of soothing and caring for themselves in moments of distress, and to find courage and joy in their relationships.

Therapy & counselling for adults, young people and children in Basel and online: a compassionate, client-led approach combined with evidence-based interventions.

The protective power of arts in health and mental health has been with us for millennia and today is evidence based. Daily life's emotional demands often go unnoticed and coping with anger, fear and sadness is socially accepted to happen in silence. Nourishing and protecting our mental health can get easily neglected. Although family and friends can play a wonderful supportive role in times of need they may not be enough in times of crisis. Making the choice to look after our mental health is our first step to personal growth. Making art is creative and fun. Being part of a supportive and safe group is therapeutic.

I have over 36 years experience of working with children, young people, adults, couples and families. I have worked with almost every conceivable issue during this time and have no ideal client.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud. I would like to invite you to a safe space of a co-created relationship, where you can talk without being judged, make meaning of what you have been going through, and co-discover this meaning in free association. I am trained in contemporary psychoanalysis, gestalt and expressive arts therapies as well as crisis interventions.

If you feel stuck in a situation or a version of yourself that concerns you, contact me. As a mental health counselor I can help you achieve the change you seek.

In a therapeutic relationship in which we are ourselves without a social mask and fully present, our brains, the most amazing organs in the universe, are continually shaped. You don't need to succumb to anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions. False fears and wrong beliefs affect all of us, you are not alone. Thoughts are not facts. Once you have become proficient at identifying your automatic thoughts and emotions, you could live the life you love and love the life you live. When thinking about the most meaningful life for yourself, you could also consider your strengths and how to make use of your own great potential.

Welcome. You may have come here because you are feeling confused or sad. Perhaps you are reaching a point in your life when you are posing existential questions or simply wish to find ways to feel better and to cope with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions. Each individual has an original journey to make and every therapeutic relationship is unique. I would like to accompany you on your way and provide the support to help you discover your inner world and learn practical approaches to regulate your emotions and manage daily stressors.
