Therapy for Artists & Creatives
Creative individuals often face unique challenges that can impact their mental health and well-being.
The creative process can be emotionally intense, leading to feelings of self-doubt, perfectionism, and anxiety. I provide a supportive space for creative people to explore these issues, receive compassionate support, and develop coping strategies.
My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives, helping you navigate the intersection of creativity and mental health.
If you're a creative person seeking therapy to better understand and manage your emotional challenges, I am here to support you on your journey.
As a writer myself, I have specific insight into the stressors related to publication, exposure, and rejection.
How Therapy Can Be Helpful for Creatives
Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
Therapy can assist in managing perfectionism, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome that can plague individuals in creative fields. Through therapy, creatives can gain valuable insights into their creativity, learn coping strategies for stress and anxiety, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Additionally, therapy can help creative individuals set boundaries, maintain work-life balance, and enhance overall well-being, which can directly impact your creative output and satisfaction with your work.
As a writer and visual artist, I have specific lived experience related to creative output and the pressures of publishing, work/life balance, and more. I provide evidence-based treatment approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and exposure-based treatments that will help you with the specific challenges arising in your life and your creative process so you can find engagement and excitement in your creative work.
