In our sessions, clients can expect to be surrounded by authenticity, compassion, warmth, humor, creativity, play and empowerment. Clients can expect to explore their strengths, identify passions, and develop creative coping tools for nervous system regulation before delving in. Clients will be invited to connect to stories about adverse childhood events, to the negative core beliefs about self and the world, that may be underlying symptoms. Together, we can work to reframe cognitive distortions and redirect unhealthy habits. We can also investigate any environmental factors and interpersonal distress to problem solve and resolve these stressors. Clients can share openly about systemic factors impacting them. Art can be used to safely give voice and make visible these internal experiences of emotions, thoughts, and memories when words are insufficient. Clients will be guided to identify values and connect with goals for their future through fun, easy, creative activities through painting, collage or vision boarding.
