Art Therapy in Richboro, PA

My attachment-focused therapy style strives to heal emotional wounds, both past and present, by examining one’s earliest relationships. As an attachment-trauma therapist, I will help you process the emotions from early or later trauma in order to strengthen your sense of self, safety, and belonging. The attachment patterns we learn from our earliest relationships determine how we interact with and perceive the world, which includes how we approach and engage in relationships with other people. As a single mother who adopted my daughter internationally, I understand how attachment trauma impacts us as children, and later as adults.

Greetings! My name is Courtney Snow. I am an art psychotherapist with credentials as a Registered, Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults and families within behavioral health agencies, community outreach programs, educational settings, residential and outpatient programs. I am experienced in treating individuals who have substance use disorders, developmental disorders, thought disorders, complex trauma, emotional disturbances, unresolved grief, and relationship issues.

I have a true passion for working with adults and adolescents who are suffering from an inability to form healthy relationships with their loved ones. My office offers a warm setting for people of all ages to feel safe and explore their "child within". I use play and art therapy as well as evidenced based techniques to empower parents and help them to connect with their child and unlock their full potential. I love helping families grow with healthy coping skills. I also truly enjoy working with adults to explore their own past and how it affects their relationships today.

Building a strong rapport with my clients to feel safe, comfortable, accepted, empowered, and heard within our sessions is most important. I love to incorporate the arts and foster creativity within my sessions. I have an M.S. degree in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a licensed Professional Counselor in PA. Before working in the private practice setting, I was a Middle and High School Counselor in West Chester, PA. I have helped many clients be successful while implementing academic, social/emotional, and behavioral interventions for their clinical mental health treatment plans.

I know that starting therapy can be challenging but I am here to help! I am a licensed counselor (LPC) and registered art therapist (ATR-BC), who is passionate about tailoring therapy to each client individually. I specialize in counseling for medical conditions (see below for more information), grief, trauma, anxiety and depression management.

I specialize in supporting clients who value a gentle, explorative approach and seek a therapist with a holistic perspective. For those who prefer harm reduction and transparency, I offer a less clinical approach, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship above all else. I provide comprehensive gender-affirming care to individuals seeking support in aligning their gender identity with their mental well-being. With a strong foundation in community care, I am committed to providing support that is transparent, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs.

Are you avoiding certain situations because of the way you feel about your body? Maybe this is leading to disordered eating behaviors? I want to help you move towards body neutrality and find new ways to cope with disordered eating.

Art Therapy sessions give your child a space to TRULY be themselves. Whether your child needs a space to process difficult life situations, freedom to be uniquely themselves, or wildly creative, I will offer them a safe and open-minded space to do so. We can learn ways to manage stress, fear, and other challenging emotions that are appropriate for their developmental level. They will have access to a wide variety of art materials and the ability to integrate drumming, play, and other expressive modalities depending on their (and parent supported) therapeutic goals.

If you are motivated to come in for Mental Health treatment but words are too difficult to express, then the non-verbal modalities of Art and Play Therapy are the perfect treatment choice. Anne Johnson helps children, teens and adults use art to express themselves until they are ready to express their emotions verbally. Anne's primary focus of treatment intervention is Expressive Therapy with an Art Therapy specialty. Another mode of therapy Anne provides for individuals is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This therapy is ideal when people need skills to empower themselves to be as effective as they can be in their lives.

I focus on identification, awareness, healing, empowerment, and resolution of daily life struggles in a safe, supportive environment. I encourage use of verbal and non-verbal means of self expression as well as identification of strategies of self development and formulating healthy new perceptions and interventions to heal for positive change. My focus is working with adolescents with emotional and behavioral health needs and their families.

I want to be a passenger on your boat and help you shine a light on the stuck places that are weighing you down. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and LGBTQI+ issues, to name a few.

My name is Ashley and I'm a board certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor. I enjoy regular hikes, camping, creating art, and home cooked meals. I hope to support clients in finding ways to live their life to the fullest. If you had no more problems, what would your everyday look like?

I feel honored to have been part of my patients' mental health journeys for the past 22 years. It takes an enormous amount of courage to ask for help and to then be vuInerable in therapy. I strive to create a safe comfortable space, yes even using virtual means, to support my patients to work through struggles, complex emotions and anguish. I exhibit a compassionate and non-judgemental mode of relating inconjuntion with an empathic, change-oriented philosophy. I offer art psychotherapy as well as verbal-talk therapy. My therapeutic interventions tend to oscillate between the two modalities based on what each patient needs.

I am a registered Art Therapist who has been serving people with mental health issues for over 21 years. I have experience with a wide range of mental health issues, particular focus on those who have suffered from a traumatic event (natural disasters, abuse, domestic violence, divorce, suicide, crimes, grief, and the like). I also have Many years experience providing group therapy for children with ADHD, Aspergers and anxiety issues. The aim of these groups are to help children understand and learn healthy social skills, expressive and communication skills. Providing group experiences helps children to 'practice' these healthy skills.

Making the decision to begin or restart therapy is tough. We get messages from all around us that we should be independent or "strong," so asking for support can feel like somehow, we've failed. Maybe it gives you anxiety just imagining how you would squeeze one more appointment into your already packed schedule. Less than optimal experiences in therapy might have you tired of searching and worried about who you'll be able to trust. Or maybe you're waiting for the 'right time' to begin. Whatever has brought you to this point right now though, has taken a lot of strength.
