Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring my own art supplies for painting therapy sessions?

Nope! I provide all the art supplies. The fee is included in your session rate and everything you create belongs to you.

Do I need to have prior experience in art to benefit from painting therapy?

No, you don't need to be an artist or have any prior experience in art to benefit from expressive arts therapy. This form of therapy is about the process of creating rather than the final product, and your therapist will work with you to find the best art modalities for your individual needs and preferences.

What is the duration of therapy?

The duration of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Short-term therapy may consist of 6-12 sessions, while long-term therapy may last several months or longer.

How much does therapy cost?

My fee for private pay sessions is $225-250 per 50-90 minute session. I am private pay only.

What types of issues can expressive arts therapy help with?

Expressive arts therapy can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and much more.

Are there benefits to not having any prior artistic experience?

Certainly! One benefit of not having any prior experience in the arts is that it can help you approach the process with a beginner's mind, free from expectations or self-criticism. In expressive arts therapy, the focus is on the process rather than the final product, and there is no right or wrong way to create. This can be especially helpful for those who may have had negative experiences with art in the past, or who feel intimidated by the idea of creating something "good". By exploring the arts in a supportive therapeutic environment, you can discover new ways of expressing yourself and gaining insight into your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Between sessions, I may offer you some personal reflection prompts or creative exercises to help you continue your exploration outside of our sessions. These exercises are designed to support your growth and deepen your understanding of yourself, and you can complete them at your own pace. Remember, this is your healing journey, and I'm here to support and guide you every step of the way.
