Art therapy isn’t about
making “good” art.
IT'S ABOUT DISCOVERING ANOTHER WAY TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF.Art therapy combines the therapeutic relationship with creative expression. Sometimes that might mean drawing, painting collage, journaling, working with image, or experimenting with different materials. Other times we may not use art at all. Art therapy can help us explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words, notice patterns, connect thoughts and feelings, and see situations from a different perspective. There is not right way to create. There is no expectation that your artwork needs to look a certain way. The process is what matters. HOW ART THERAPY CAN HELP

MEET YOUR ART THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Carly.
LPCC-S, ATR-BC, LPAT
My approach is rooted in person-centered, relational, and humanistic therapy. I believe therapy works best when you feel like you can actually be yourself.
We’ll work together to better understand where you are, what matters to you, and you’s like to go next in your journey.
You don’t have to be an artist
You don't have to know what you want to create.
You don't have to know exactly what you want to say.
And you definitely don't need to make something beautiful.
You just have to be willing to begin
