Formerly Alexandra Corriveau. Starting therapy with someone new can be an intimidating process. I believe that building a therapeutic relationship starts with getting to know each client and creating an engaging space. I have an eclectic approach to therapy and utilize solution focused techniques. I have experience working with all ages, and I currently see both adults and teenagers. I am close to UCONN and Eastern and love to work with college students. In addition to providing therapy services, I also offer clinical supervision and art therapy supervision for individuals working towards their ATR or LPC credentials.

Art in therapy can be used as a primary form of therapy or as a supplement to regular talk psychotherapy.
Compassion is a human instinct. Compassion creates connection. Humans need and deserve healthy, loving, and meaningful connection to self and others. If we are able to identify our unique values, and what drives our needs, we can create a life full of connection, and meaning. Understanding who you are by reflecting on your early experiences is essential is understanding who you are today. Your history is the framework for how you experience yourself, your life, and your relationships. With compassion and curiosity, I can help guide you toward your goals using both verbal and non-verbal techniques.

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.
