The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. To heal. And to build one’s self. For many, that alone is a move towards progress. From there, in a safe non-judgmental space, you can process, reflect, and heal from troubling past events. Therapy can help you dive in to self exploration to gain deeper self understanding, assurance, and affirmation and live more aligned with your values and truths. You can learn to set boundaries, build health in your relationships, and navigate challenging ones. Therapy can provide a space where you can practice asserting yourself with more confidence, develop coping strategies for challenging feelings in a given moment, and to restore and heal your self to move through life with more ease.

Once you decide you would like to move forward with our therapy services, you will be sent some initial paperwork to fill out. This will be sent and completed through our secure, HIPAA compliant, user friendly online platform, Simple Practice. From there you will discuss and set an appointment with your therapist and have the option to have appointment reminder. Before each session you will be sent a link to meet at the scheduled time.

When engaging in Creative Arts and Movement, your therapist will help guide you in what materials might be helpful to have on hand and in setting up a space where you can move and be seen.

Because we are not meeting in a private office, it is important for you to carve out a private and quiet environment for your session.

Creative Arts Therapy, also known as Expressive Arts Therapy, is an umbrella terms for mental health practices that use various art forms and the creative process to improve and enhance psychological, emotional, social, and even physical healing and well-being. The Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies include, but are not limited to, art, music and sound, dance/movement, and drama modalities. A creative arts process may also incorporate writing and poetry, symbolism and analogy, guided meditation, and imagery. These modalities and approaches can be used simultaneously for an inter-modal creative arts process or successively for an inter-modal transfer experience.

Yes, we are trained, ready, and willing to provide you with a traditional talk therapy experience. We use a variety of traditional theoretical perspectives and techniques. We can use these traditional approaches on their own when this meets the child's needs and desired for therapy. We are also equipped to use design tailored, client specific interventions using traditional talk therapy in conjunction with Creative Arts Therapy modalities.

No, not at all. Not exclusively. While Creative Arts Therapy can be use and effect for children, it can be just as, if not even more, fruitful and beneficial for adults. In fact, just like some traditional talk therapists do, there are many creative arts therapists who work exclusively with adults.

Not at all. Just like the many types of traditional therapy, each one of the creative arts modalities has its own set of theoretical framework and perspectives, interventions, and methods of assessment. Many adult clients are surprised at how quickly and effectively the creative arts therapy can bring them closer to their emotions, their body, and their ability to gain new perspective.

Dance/movement therapists, music therapists, art therapist, and drama therapists are all masters level clinicians. They hold registrations and/or board certifications with their respective national associations. In some states, such as New York, these clinicians hold a Licensed Creative Art Therapy state license (LCAT). In other states, such as Massachusetts, creative arts clinicians hold traditional state licensures, such as Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

In many ways we are all uniquely complex systems of patterned circuitries, on conscious, sub-conscious, and unconscious levels. These patterns show up in our thoughts, feelings, movements, and behaviors. Verbal language is the form of expression that we have the most conscious awareness, control, and guard over and many of us prominent in our thoughts and feelings. A creative arts therapy process can help identify and break these patterns and provide a means to deep self exploration and new perspective development.

During the first session you will review the paperwork you previously filling out. You will talk more about what brings you to therapy, your mental health and family history, your strengths and concerns, and what you would like to achieve in therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask your therapist questions you may have and assess if working together feels like a good fit so far.

That is wonderful! Contact us and let us know you are ready to move and be moved!

Our goal is for you to get the most embodied benefit from therapy. A key element to successful therapy is consistency. For this reason, we strongly recommend a commitment to weekly session.

We require at least 24 hours notice for all canceled appointments. If we are notified with less than 24 hours notice or a no show happens you may be charged a full session fee. It is always best practice to let your therapist know as soon as possible.

At this time all of our sessions are completely virtual. We are licensed to serve those located on Massachusetts and New York.

Please refer to our contact page for more information regarding payment, insurance and fees.
