Accepting New Clients! - Ready to start on a journey of self-discovery, understanding, and fulfillment? While specializing in the intricate intersections of mental health, sexuality, and creativity, I guide individuals through the process of connecting with their desires. I’ll guide you through the challenges of understanding your needs, fostering healthy relationships, and unlocking your true passions. In our safe and supportive space, we'll work together to enhance communication, embrace authenticity, and build newfound confidence that will allow you to prioritize pleasure and your wellbeing.
Talking about emotions, sex, or passions in life can be uncomfortable, especially to a stranger. That's why I offer alternatives to traditional talk therapy. I use art, music, movement, nature, and EMDR to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. Let's work together to explore and navigate your passion in life!
I'm ready to help you uncover where your messaging about yourself originates from and to help reshape it into something that is more meaningful to you. If you would like to get started, please visit my website and complete my screening form creativewellbeings.com/contact

I often incorporate art-based EMDR in my practice, merging creativity with traditional therapy. Through various art materials, I guide individuals in expressing and processing trauma during our EMDR sessions. This dual approach, combining visual expression with bilateral stimulation, enhances the depth of exploration for a more comprehensive and nuanced healing experience.

Hosted by
Jenn Parretta

Sometimes we are so worried about getting to our destination, that we may forget to look at the world around us. Taking the scenic route doesn't just mean slowing down— it also means finding adventure along the way, enjoying the journey, and learning to navigate the potholes that may come. In this group, we use art and nature to explore topics of transition, mindfulness, and identity as we navigate our local parks with peers. We have COHORT & DROP-IN group options! Check creativewellbeings.com/events for more details.
