How Creative Arts Therapists work
Creative arts therapists use active “making” with their trained modality - art, movement, sound, music, writing, role-play, embodied improvisation - plus the creative process and applied psychological theory within a psychotherapeutic relationship to ameliorate mental health symptoms for our clients.
No client arts-skills necessary
Clients do not need any arts experience or skill to partake in and benefit from creative arts therapies. Like any skilled therapist, we meet our clients where you are and use our techniques to empower and deepen your therapeutic process.
Why Creativity Belongs in Therapy
Humans are innately creative. Long before we had clinical language for emotion, trauma, or attachment, we used movement, rhythm, storytelling, image-making, and play to regulate, connect, and heal. Creativity is not an add-on to wellness—it is foundational to how humans process experience and make meaning.
Traditional talk therapy alone can unintentionally privilege verbal fluency, cognitive insight, and linear narratives. Arts-based interventions widen access to healing by engaging the body, imagination, nervous system, and relational dynamics. They offer multiple pathways for expression, particularly when words are unavailable, unsafe, or insufficient.
Creative processes:
- Support nervous system regulation
- Allow symbolic and nonverbal expression
- Increase emotional flexibility and agency
- Strengthen relational attunement and play
- Foster meaning-making and integration

Arts in Counseling has an "Access Contribution Program" that enables Arts in Counseling to increase access to care for those in need while sustaining the labor of our providers. We recognize that barriers like income instability, caregiving responsibilities, racism/discrimination, medical or student debt, disability or chronic illness, immigration-related barriers, housing insecurity, and limited access to generational wealth or financial safety nets can limit access to care. The Access Contribution Program supports reduced-rate services through multiple sources, including organizational partnerships, grants and optional client contributions.
We offer tiered pricing:
- Sustainer Rate (amount of your choosing above full fee)
- Standard Rate (full fee)
- Supported Rate (pay what you can)
Sustainer Rate: Clients who independently choose and have the capacity may contribute by paying the amount of your choosing, above the standard rate, that aligns with your current financial responsibility. Client contributions may be adjusted or discontinued at any time. Client participation is entirely optional. There is no expectation or obligation for clients to contribute. Choosing not to participate does not affect care, access, or the client–provider relationship in any way.
Standard Rate: Pay full service fee
Supported Rate: Pay the rate that currently aligns with your financial responsibilities. If your circumstances change, we invite you to transition toward the standard or sustainer rate when possible.
Because you should not go into debt trying to heal from a crime that happened to you, we work with the Commonwealth to cover your cost of therapy through the VCAP program if you qualify. This program is designed to support individuals who have suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to a crime.

Cancellations
We understand that life can be unpredictable and that schedules sometimes need to change. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a fee equal to 50% of your session rate, except in cases of illness or emergency.
This policy helps us hold consistent space for clients and ensures that time reserved for you can be offered to someone else in need of care. Thank you for your understanding and respect for this shared commitment.
Refunds
No refunds are offered for services, but a credit can be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Intake & Consent Forms: A link to intake and consent electronic forms will be emailed to the address that a client provides. Forms must be completed in our HIPPA compliant, confidential health portal before or during the first appointment.
