Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC, NCC

My degree included specialized training in art therapy. No art skill is necessary to try out art therapy. In our sessions, I might use some art therapy if it seems appropriate or suggest some homework. Examples include: making a vision board, drawing your feelings, creating a object that celebrates the loss of a loved one.

Benefits of art therapy may include the development of non-verbal forms of self-expression, trauma resolution, increased self-esteem, and nervous system regulation/stress management. Art materials can be used in the session, or, prompts can be given to complete outside of the therapy space. I hold the belief that art is like a dream, or a snapshot of some facet of the psyche, latent with imagery, waiting to be de-coded and integrated into one’s daily life.

Licensed Professional Counselor

ATR, LMFT, LPC

Though many therapists will say they use "art therapy" in their treatment, it takes specialized training to call oneself an Art Therapist and register with the ATCB. This distinction identifies me as uniquely qualified to use art making and creative interventions with advanced knowledge of the creative process, evidence based interventions, and honor for your expressive voice in your journey to self discovery and growth.

My professional training is in art therapy and I am a registered art therapist (ATR). Art therapy is about creating art in a therapeutic setting. The act of art making, as well as the art piece you create, will help you to explore and express yourself in a safe space. Creativity helps you tap-into and explore complex and overwhelming feelings and situations in a non-threatening way.

Sometimes words just aren't enough to express deep pain or complex emotions. In my art therapy practice, you absolutely do not need to be "good at art." We will use creative expression collaboratively, gently inviting your mind and body to safely share what lies beneath the surface. Together, we will use imagery and materials to process trauma, ease anxiety, and unlock new insights, empowering you to heal and find your authentic voice in a deeply personal way.

Drawing, painting, or creating can help you express thoughts and emotions that are hard to put into words—plus, it’s a fun way to explore yourself and your world.

Nicole Craig (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

As an art therapist, I believe we are all artists who deserve the pleasure of art making. I have used this modality in a variety of ways; helping people process grief and trauma externally, as a means to improve reality testing for individuals with psychosis, as a tool for depression and anxiety, and as a method to increase insight.

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

MA, LMFT

Sometimes, words don't suffice. Or we tell ourselves the same stories over and over again, not allowing us to get unstuck from these old narratives. The power of image and of creative expression to get at the heart of a feeling or a problem is immense. If you think visually or are curious about new ways of approaching old problems, art therapy may be very effective for you.

MA, LMFT, Certified Havening Practitioner, EFT Master, Practitioner

I use art therapy to help clients to externalize their problems so that they can have different perspective on them and to use the right side of the brain instead of the left. Through use of the art clients gai insights into their bodies and the unconscious process that occurs within them.
