Life offers us many moments to relish if we can remain present. However, living in the moment is easier said than done when we face challenges. Barriers from unresolved conflicts in the past and fear and anxiety about the future prevent us from embracing the here and now. Jason uses a combination of psychotherapy and action methods to explore solutions and help clients to heal past hurts. His focus specializes in relationships, healing trauma, life transitions, LGBTQ+, and addiction services.

Life moves quickly, and therapy can help you to slow down and reflect on your experience in ways that open up new possibilities. In this process, even the most troubling symptoms contain important potential energy. As a therapist I work to strike a balance between creating space for reflection and participating actively in the process, including, when needed, telling you what I really think. But most of all, I have respect for the particular difficulties that you face and for the ways in which you have lived with them.

Are you anxious or just really excited? Once upon a time, when we were faced with a predator or a life or death situation, anxiety served us well. Your natural reaction to fight or flee kept you out of danger. But in this modern world, even when you aren't in any real "danger," you'll have that same reaction. If you are about to approach your boss to ask for a raise, your body produces adrenaline which puts you on edge - it affects our behavior, it affects your ask. We don't do certain things that are scary because we just don't like feeling anxiety. But, no ask - no raise.

“Taking refuge” is a phrase in Buddhism that invites a world-weary self to find relief. From the confusion of life’s dramas and the pull to get swept up in them. Taking refuge requires building trustworthiness through a softening that happens over time in relationship. That is one reason psychotherapy is effective: The trustworthiness built by therapist and client allows for a depth of self to be known and expressed. Such encounters in turn build trustworthiness within oneself, for as our capacities enlarge, we enlarge. In finding solace within, we learn to live less fearfully, participate in relationship with authority and ease.

Expressive Arts Therapists

What happens in expressive arts therapy?

In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.

How long does expressive arts therapy take?

An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.

How does expressive arts therapy help children?

Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.

What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?

Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
