Expressive Art Therapy

Jennifer Crawford (she/her)

LPC, LMHC, NCC

I have immersive, graduate-level training in expressive art therapies from Lesley University. In expressive art therapies art, music, movement, and drama therapy are used as tools to understand the client's experience from different perspectives and to create healing. No experience is needed. Examples include: writing a letter to your younger self, using imagery and movement to calm anxiety, creating a "character" for one of your parts, and dialoging with it.

I am trained in expressive arts for trauma processing. Via simple, non-intimidating arts prompts we may find new points of entry into old stories, and source surprising or compelling meaning - on your terms. The arts also provide us with a wealth of tools for embodiment and nervous system regulation, as well as help us leverage our strengths (individual & cultural) for accessing newfound resiliency.

Sometimes words aren’t enough. Expressive arts therapy weaves together visual art, movement, music, storytelling, and creative play to help you process emotions, release stress, and gain clarity. You don’t need to be an artist—just open to exploring new ways to heal and grow.

If you find it difficult to verbalize your thoughts and feelings we can work with creative mediums to tap into what seems to be hiding underneath the surface of your experiences and bring them forth into the light of your awareness. Depending on how we meet will determine the mediums that we can use. No previous art experience is necessary, only curiosity and an openness to understanding yourself in new ways.

My training in Expressive Art Therapy supports your exploration of challenges and dreams with images, music, poetry, or movement. As a SoulCollage® facilitator, I offer groups and workshops at PCC and in private sessions. You are welcome to bring in your creative interests, and we will integrate creative expression into your process of self-exploration and change.

This requires no experience, and it is non-threatening: there is never judgement. For example, I might suggest you make a collage and we would use it as a point of discussion to shed light on your issues.

Amy Altenberger (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA in Art Therapy

I hold a Masters Degree in Expressive Art Therapy and I was an Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Art Therapy Program at Marylhurst University. I incorporate art, movement, breath and mindfulness in our sessions. Talking about trauma can be difficult, art therapy allows you to express yourself and tell your story without using words in a safe non-judgmental space. You don't have to be an artist to use art therapy and we can discuss if this is the right modality for you.
