Art Therapy

In Art Therapy we use various art materials (pencils, markers, paint, pastels, chalk etc.) to express yourself and gain insight. Art helps us express things when words aren't quite enough. Art Therapy supports trauma healing by accessing other parts of the brain and using your senses, beyond what talk therapy can do.

Hi there, I’m Leah (she/they) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), art therapist (MA), and creator based in Cleveland, OH. Have you ever experienced someone giving you an uncomfortable glance or had harmful words spoken to or about you because of your racial identity or ethnicity, sexual/affectional orientation, or just because of the way you look? Have you ever had difficulties describing what or how you’re feeling, or not knowing what the hell to do when you’re feeling the feels?

I am here to provide a multicultural perspective, utilizing a holistic approach to therapy to support each client with the tools to reach their unique goals in this healing journey. I love getting the chance to help people have those “ah-ha” moments when they work through self-exploration and healing through previous grief, trauma, stress, and/or relationship problems.

I aim to create a safe, brave, and welcoming space that my clients will value and feel supported within the therapeutic relationship so they may learn to live through and manage all of the challenges life has to offer. I practice through Person-Centered approach, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, with some CBT and DBT.

Fun facts about me: I’ve moved to and from 3 different states and have been an avid traveler from a very young age. So, I have lived through the experiences of being in a brand new place and knowing absolutely nothing about what to do in the new environment.

Hello! I’m Lauren (she/her), a graduate intern in counseling and art therapy at Ursuline College. I’m here to accompany you on your healing and self-discovery journey. I find fulfillment in working with individuals navigating the complexities of modern life who may experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, complex trauma, grief, and neurodiversity.

I approach therapy with an open heart and mind, believing in your unique potential for growth and healing. My priority is creating a safe and empowering space for you to explore your experiences. I’m particularly passionate about the transformative power of art therapy, which fosters self-expression, mindfulness, emotional awareness, and self-compassion.

Life can be overwhelming and out of control, leaving you feeling like you mentally and spiritually have “too many tabs open.” Let’s work together to reduce life’s stressors to rediscover your motivation, sense of self, connection to others, and enjoyment of life.

Hi, Joy here! (she/her) I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor & Board Certified Art Therapist based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I love what I do. I get to help humans cope with life’s challenges, like grief, loss, stress, relationship problems, and traumatic events. Sometimes, we even have fun doing it!

With me, clients know they have a warm and straight-forward therapist, who skillfully supports and challenges them towards new perspectives. I will guide you on your journey to overcome “stuck-ness” and pain with humor, a little dose of reality, plus a whole lot of creativity. I practice non-judgemental Person-Centered approaches with a dash of CBT, Existential therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Informed Brain-based Neuroscience to back it up.

No stranger to breathtaking surprises or suffering, I connect with anyone on the arduous journey of self-exploration, healing, and, ultimately, hope.
