PATS Approach

        By building an empathetic and collaborative therapy relationship we hope to creatively explore your experiences and their impacts in a beneficial way tailored specifically for you. There is a beautiful opportunity to truly learn about yourself as you take the steps into therapy. We will step into the space of fostering greater self-awareness with you in a curious, expressive, and non-judgmental way. We hope to walk beside you on your journey towards self-discovery and guide you towards feeling empowered.

       We use creative arts therapy and traditional talk therapy techniques that focus on safety within the therapy relationship and space. This enables us to work with you on processing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We work with folks of various needs and backgrounds but feel passionate about working on women's/femme-identifying issues as well as burn out with healthcare professionals.

Art is not always about pretty things.
It’s about who we are, what happened to us, and how our lives are affected.
