Art Therapy in Audubon, New Orleans, LA
Sanna works with patients that have generalized concerns such as anxiety and depression, as well as patients with specific needs such as disordered eating, the lgbtq population, and therapy that incorporates aspects of spirituality, art, and/or meditation.
Summer 2026: Sanna is currently taking new patients with BCBS & private pay.
True healing doesn't come from being "fixed," but from learning to accept and navigate who you are and what is here right now. Through learning to be present with our emotions and bodies, we can move from mental turmoil to a place of wholeness and peace. I am here to guide you through this process, which I have been through firsthand as well. Together we will explore your past and present to find deeper meaning, while also addressing current symptoms and finding practical solutions. If you're looking for something deeper, you're in the right place.

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.
