Our Approach
Our unique method is based on over 25 years of research and experience.
We use art-making, writing, dreams and metaphors for exploring personal,
family and cultural behavioral patterns. The power and speed of personal
growth is dramatically increased when you engage images from the unconscious
to help depict who we are. As you step aside and let the images come through,
the images themselves become the agents of transformation. Through creativity,
the soul instinctively heals itself.
Our work is effective in addressing a wide range of issues, including:
- increasing self-esteem
- enhancing relationships
- clarifying life direction
- rejuvenating creativity
- recovery from abuse and trauma
Our Services
Individual Therapy
Revitalize your personal life and work by using transformational art
to access your creativity.
We help children and adults access the healing power of their creativity
through a blend of art and verbal therapy. You don't need any previous
art experience to benefit from this process, just a willingness to explore
and express your personal symbols and metaphors.
Couple and Family Therapy
We help couples and family address situations that have eroded healthy
communication patterns necessary for success during difficult life transitions.
Family dynamics are recognized and creative solutions are found to deal
with challenges and opportunities. We provide and environment to establish
healthy dialogue.
Clinical Supervision
Expand your skills to include transformational art in your work
you and your work will be revitalized!
We offer supervision for people who are working towards art therapy registration
or who want to include art as a therapeutic modality in their work with
groups or individuals in social service, medical, or educational settings.
Public Workshops
Our workshops will now be offered through
the The Center for Creative Consciousness, Inc.,
and will focus on the creative process and the environment necessary to
cultivate creative behavior. For those seeking more intensive study, CCC
offers a four-month Creativity in Action Program.
Certificate Program
NEATI no longer offers a two year certificate program. For those who
are looking for information about Art Therapy or training programs in the
field, we recommend that you contact the American
