Art Therapy in New York, NY
The work in therapy can help this person not only talk about their problems but try to use non verbal means of expression through music, art, poetry, visual journaling, and imagery with meditative states of mind.
I have a MA degree in music therapy from NYU and studied the effects of music, imagery in meditative states of mind. The combination of non-verbal creative expressions and traditional talk therapy can accelerate change by activating both hemispheres in the brain. This approach helps people with depression and anxiety change the way they think about themself

Hi, I’m Courtney. I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to open up to someone new especially a therapist. I also know the relief that comes when you feel understood. When parts of us feel “too much” or “not enough,” we can start to hide and lose touch with who we are. Together, we’ll turn toward those parts with curiosity and care, to understand the stories they tell about what you long for, what is painful and what you imagine. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and relational therapy, where we slow down to notice the patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and inner world.

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.
