Are you longing for more energy and mental clarity to thrive in both your professional and personal life? Do you find yourself carrying the weight of past pain, unwanted thoughts, and strained relationships? If you're ready to overcome past traumas and unlock a life filled with joy, ease, balance, and success, I invite you to explore an effective and creative approach. At my practice, you can harness the power of both sides of your brain – creativity & logic, focus & curiosity, thoughts & emotions. Through a unique combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Art Therapy, you become flexible, creative, and mindfully aware.
Discover your empowered journey. Tap into your strengths and build brain power through creativity psychology. Our culturally humble stance values diversity, acknowledging and respecting each individual's uniqueness. Together, we'll foster insight, clear emotions, and unleash your imagination, empowering you to heal and grow.
With over 26 years experience as a creativity psychologist, author, researcher, board-certified art therapist, and professor, I bring modern, creative, and evidence-based strategies to our sessions. Schedule complementary 20-min consultation. Find me on Instagram at DrAmyBackos.
