Jack of all trades, master of none: it includes person centered as its core, and has a good blend of elements from existential, CBT, experiential, object relations, gestalt, and sensorimotor with a dash of experiential art.
Greetings! My name is Jason Bernardo, LMFT142300 and would like to support you on your journey. It is possible for you to win at life alone, but I do not think it was meant for it to be that way. If you are ready to work through the naysayers with those around you and those within you, maybe I can help play a part in this period of your life.

Along with traditional 'talk therapy,' my style is to incorporate creative mechanisms in sessions, which might include music, art, poetry, bibliotherapy, etc.
It takes great courage to reach out for help. Needing help is not a bad thing. Sometimes we experience situations that lead to heartache and pain, frustration, anger, unforgiveness, sadness, grief, and on and on. Our situations can seem hopeless at times, and we need another perspective to help us realize that we CAN make it through, and that we ARE strong enough to overcome. My goal is to help you get to the root of the issues and challenges that you are experiencing, whether it be anxiety, depression, behavior problems, etc., so that you can move on to enjoying your life to the fullest.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
