Expressive Arts Therapists in Anaheim, CA
Dallas Fotinos a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a focus on a client's centered approach. I worked in various roles exposing me to people from all walks of life though I remained curious about individuals and smaller dynamics and how they function. I approach all areas of therapy through a client-centered and trauma-informed lens utilizing aspects of expressive arts, attachment theory, motivational interviewing, developmental, neurobiological, and polyvagal. I have always been interested in human behavior and how individuals come to behave as they do and I decided mental health was where I belonged.

I use a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness and body based/ somatic practices, compassion focused therapy, relational therapy, expressive arts therapy, and liberation psychology with clients.
I often support clients who have multiple marginalized identities, including, queer & trans, neurodivergent, and chronically ill and disabled people of the global majority. My approach is warm, patient, strengths based, and practical. I offer tools that clients can use to support their growth and healing, both during and outside of sessions. This includes learning how to build a practice of radical self compassion, transforming and healing your inner dialogue, expanding and deepening your connection to community, and deepening your connection to your roots. Everyone's healing journey is unique, and I am here to empower you on yours.

The decision to find a therapist for your child or adolescent is fraught with anxiety. Parents are taking a risk in choosing to share their children and their vulnerabilities with me. In my work I have the utmost respect for this decision and appreciate how challenging it is. So often you worry about what you did wrong or feel powerless to help. You may feel like you've tried everything or that you've failed. You may blame yourself or feel like you are failing your child in some way, or like you just need someone who can help.

Hello there! I prefer to use a solution focused, art-based approach to therapy. We will begin by creating a treatment plan we've created together, with goals, and steps to reach those goals. I will lead the way with authenticity, respect, curiosity, and an open heart, as we discover our therapeutic relationship, and how we can help you live fully in support of you. With a background in and passion for art, I have learned to utilize colors, textures, and symbols to express my own feelings. I intend to help you shine light on the authentic, centered parts of yourself you might not normally access easily.

My name is, Claudia Villierme, M.Ed., MFT, & APCC. I extend a comfortable and warm approach to therapeutic session work. While topics within our session may be complex, I believe the process of building rapport, listening, reflecting, and brainstorming our options can be simple.

I intend to build a rapport and a safe space where we can find a therapeutic approach for your care- as an individual.

In my work, I help adults, couples, teens, and athletes with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, and self-doubt. I also assist with issues related to family, performance, relationships, and racial issues. Its been my experience that most people either have a clear idea of where they want to go or are in the process of figuring it out. I team up with people to help them pinpoint their goals and construct a bridge that will allow them to reach those goals. We build the bridge by increasing our insight & self-awareness, and we move across the bridge by working through pain and overcoming obstacles to growth and healing.

Expressive Arts Therapists
What happens in expressive arts therapy?
In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.
How long does expressive arts therapy take?
An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.
How does expressive arts therapy help children?
Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.
What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?
Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
