Individual Therapy

one on one therapy is a personal and intimate process where you will explore your unique struggles, goals, and aspirations. This collaborative relationship will provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential space to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop a more compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions, and work towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Group Art Therapy

Led by a trained art therapist, the group uses various art forms. In a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, group members learn from each other, gain new perspectives, and develop community. The art- making process encourages experimentation, creativity, and personal growth, allowing individuals to tap into their imagination and inner world.
