Frequently Asked Questions
What is Art Therapy?
Do I need to be an Artist?
Through visual and symbolic expression art making transcends the spoken word and gives voice to your to your life story. Art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone and recognizes the interconnectedness between the parts of ourselves.
For a full definition of art therapy, you can explore the AATA website.
Absolutely not! No art experience is necessary to engage in art therapy services. Together we can explore different art mediums that resonate with with you and how to use them.
I want to work with you but I am not sure about the art.
Can I do Art Therapy virtually?
YES! Art therapy services can transfer into the virtual space. You can use whatever materials you have accessible around you. This also includes nature or craft supplies.
This is not a problem! In our initial consult let me know how you are feeling about making art and we can explore what would feel best for you. We will also re-evaluate throughout our time working together.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. At this time I accept Cigna, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Northern CA, and Aetna.
