Due to transitioning practices, I am not currently taking new clients. Please stay tuned for new practice information beginning in January. I have over a decade of supporting people across the life span in their creative journey, and I’m passionate about supporting you in your mental health and wellness path as a professional counseling associate. I have supported clients to navigate life transitions, neurodiversity, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity and chronic illness in the context of their individual experience. I am currently working with adolescents to adults, LGBTQ+ affirming and body positive.
I am a person-centered somatic art therapist. I use creativity and art processes as the language to access the parts of ourselves that need support with positive regard, unconditional acceptance and warmth, and somatic practices to reconnect the body, mind and spirit, and to integrate these experiences to increase flow through relational neurobiology.
You don’t have to be an artist or even see yourself as creative to benefit from art therapy. Engaging in art making doesn't require an art background or even look a certain way to help. Art therapy can be a cathartic or even mindful practice. If you connect with my approach, but just prefer verbal processing, reach out to schedule a consult!
Call or Shannon Garcia now for a free 15 minute consultation - (503) 436-6374
