We view creativity as an innate human capacity—part of how minds and bodies keep balance. We honor diverse cultural lineages that treat creativity not just as self-expression, but as a way to restore connection — with self, others, and places. People don’t need to “be artistic” to benefit from creative processes. We need spaces and trusted relationships that are safe, curious, and collaborative. Healing happens here. Within the practice of creative arts therapies, we know that we cannot create and analyze at the same time; they’re different processes. But we must do both - diligently and playfully - to heal and thrive.
In all of your uniqueness, without fear of judgment or discrimination, we invite you to embrace vulnerability and courage as you freely explore possibilities, in your therapy work, to build lasting health and a community at Arts in Counseling.
Our Philosophy
Change begins with the ability to imagine alternatives. “We cannot create what we can't imagine”.

Our Approach
We are
Healing doesn’t only happen by talking about experiences, but by engaging with them—through ie: art-making, movement, improv, mindfulness and creative expression. Participation invites the body, mind, and spirit into the process, making therapy not just reflective but active. This balance of doing and processing allows insight to grow alongside lived, embodied practice.
We prioritize practicing through participation in addition to processing.
We care about healing individuals in ways that strengthen our collective
well-being and communities at large.
We embrace collectivism—the understanding that our liberation, health, and thriving are interconnected - and that our systems significantly influence our health.
Connection is human nature, cultivating it is our work.
We help clients make small pivots to connect with themselves, and others, differently. We like to help reignite your pilot light when your imagination dims.
