Who We Are
Expressive Arts Therapy and Sensory Based Practices
Expressive Arts Therapy is an integrative approach to health and well-being. It combines multiple art forms– movement, sound, music, visual art, imagery, enactment, storytelling, and narrative– with sensory processing and somatic therapies.
Trauma-Informed
Trauma-informed practices emphasize individual values, beliefs, and values in healthcare. Trauma-informed expressive arts therapy centralizes “what matters” rather than “what’s wrong with you” or “what happened to you:”
Neuro-Affirming
Expressive arts therapy expands the understanding of neurodiversity and neurodivergence. Neuro-affirming practices support individuals of all ages by providing unique opportunities for communication through the senses and lived experiences.
Evidence-Based
We strive to include the latest psychotherapy, neuroscience, arts-based, and lived experience research that impact the application of expressive arts in psychotherapy, counseling, coaching, education, and facilitation.
