How Therapy for Artists Works
Therapy sessions for artists and creative people consists of 45-minute, one-on-one sessions. At this time, I am working remotely via telehealth. In addition to listening and empathizing I will guide you towards skills that actually help you to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. In so doing, I hope to support you to feel more connected with yourself, your art practice, your community, and a sense of liberatory purpose.
What to expect in this process:
When you reach out, I’ll share my availability and offer a free 15-20 minute consultation. If we’re a good fit, we’ll meet for three sessions to assess if ongoing therapy makes sense, and I’ll ask you to complete an intake form to guide our work together.
We will work to build a trusting relationship where you feel accepted and supported to explore your struggles safely.
You will direct our work together and lead us in the direction you need to go while I listen and develop an understanding for your concerns.
I will support you to uncover the ways in which social and structural oppression may have become internalized. I do this in a grounded, non-judgmental way, led by grace, compassion, and curiosity.
I will endeavor to help you learn strategies to navigate emotional roadblocks and stay connected to your creativity.
In our work on it is my hope that you heal from past experiences, build self-awareness, and develop ways to thrive both personally and professionally.
