The artistic community hasn't gotten the support it needs and many artists leave the industry or spend years struggling with serious financial and mental health issues. Kav Counseling clinicians bring a diverse array of experience as industry professionals and artists to their therapeutic work. Our approach is rooted in the classic therapeutic tradition while incorporating contemporary models and practices. Our comprehensive counseling also includes strong business and legal support that supports the therapeutic work.
Our goal is to help our clients build sustainable careers where possible by helping solve the problems related to their mental, relational and financial functioning which impede artistic work. We operate with the implicit sense that a creative life can work. Creative fulfillment and the fullest expression of one's art and life is possible and probable.
Kav Counseling works from an understanding that a strong community requires the strength and health of its individual members. Every instance of psychological and spiritual health emanates outwards and changes the industry for the better. We believe healthy culture workers and their contributions are necessary for a stable arts and music community.
