Welcome! I'm an artist and therapist helping people reduce stress, explore purpose and foster personal growth through art, painting & creative expression. Sessions are a safe space to play, release, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience, all through the power of art. No experience needed—just an open mind. Maybe you want to feel more joy, less criticism and connection to your body. Maybe you're dealing with stress, life transitions, or seeking self-discovery. Some wish to setup an art practice and would love the accountability and safe space to create. Still, you may be someone who feels complete with talk therapy.
Sessions focus on process art not the outcome and themes are introduced to approach your unique needs. The process of making art can reveal insights into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as your desires. Engaging in creative activities can be incredibly soothing and meditative as well. Music enhances the practice, inspiring your body & hands.
My individual sessions are designed to help you connect with your inner self & bring fun and energy into your life. Let's create together! Reach out to learn more. Ask about my virtual painting group and creative healing workshops. I also have a DBT group for Adults teaching emotion regulation and mindfulness skills. I look forward to working with you!

Paint & Create Group

Photo of Jen Mele, LCSW, RYT, Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Hosted by
Jen Mele

This is a process art group that uses paint & mixed media to reflect your intuitive wisdom. With initial guidance, you will evolve an art piece in each group, stepping back into a not knowing place where creativity and inspiration lie. Sessions focus on process art not the outcome and therapeutic themes are introduced with techniques that build over time. YOU WILL GET TO: undoing perfectionist, inner critic and “don’t get messy”, “stay in the lines” programming. Work with abstract marks, water and different mediums to mirror your internal world. Experience feeling more free, flexible and clear in your own body. No painting experience necessary
