Art Therapy in Waukesha, WI

Art Therapy isn’t about being “good at art” — it’s about using creative process as a medium for growth. Here’s what you can expect:

• A safe container for expression: the artwork you create becomes a bridge to deeper understanding of emotions, body sensations, patterns, and experiences.

• Integration of processing and creation: we’ll invite you to engage with materials, then reflect on what comes up, images, colors, textures all speak meaningfully to the subconscious.

• Emotional regulation and nervous-system support: creating art can quiet rumination, slow down internal pressure, and allow the nervous system space to shift.

• Symbolic work: themes like parts of self, suppressed feelings, inner critic vs inner ally, life transitions, grief, hope — can all be explored visually and metaphorically.

• Blend of talk + experience: After we create, we’ll explore what emerged, thoughts, memories, body sensations, impulses — and consider next steps toward healing, change, and wholeness.

Our art therapy approach is grounded in humanistic, relational, trauma-informed, and somatic frameworks — delivered with openness, kindness, and collaboration.
