What’s therapy like with an Art Therapist?

In therapy sessions, we’ll talk, practice coping skills and (if you want) make art. As a Licensed Art Therapist with sixteen-years of clinical experience, my work is grounded in depth-oriented, evidence-based, and creativity-infused therapy.

Guided by our dialog, I may invite you to express ‘stuck’ points, emotions or experiences through art making.

Art-making will always be invitational, and thoughtfully adapted to your comfort level.

You’ll have access to a variety of art materials such as; colored pencils, markets, watercolor paint, collage, ect. I’m trained in a variety of “talk therapy” methods, so you don’t need to be “good at art” or make art in order to benefit from my approach. If you prefer to just talk, that’s okay too!

  • "Alison is a great and very personable therapist. I love that she is willing to try several different styles of therapy to see what works best for you. It makes treatment seem individualized to your needs, and flexible enough to switch it up if your needs change. If you are creatively inclined, she is the perfect therapist as she has an arts background and can help you process in that space."
