As we ebb and flow through life, we connect, disconnect and reconnect over and over again. Our connections to our mind, our body, the people around us, our society and the world are in a fluid state of change. Some internal and external changes may be overwhelming and heavy like a crashing wave. Adjusting to everchanging connections can be difficult at times. As a result, we may start to disconnect and retreat as ways to cope and slowly float away.

I believe we all have the power within ourselves to create the lives we desire. As humans, we are much more capable and resilient than our brains allow us to believe. Sometimes we may lose sight, need guidance, or someone to acknowledge our humanity, value, feelings, and strengths. Seeking mental health assistance can feel like a very scary step, and my goal is to make you feel as comfortable and empowered as possible.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
