Hello, my name is Jaime Gaudet. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist. I have over 22 years of experience as a counselor, and I use a Client-Centered approach. I have been described as compassionate, creative, friendly and easy-going. I typically work with clients who are struggling with, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, parenting issues, poor coping skills, and anger management. Client-Centered, Positive Psychology, and I use Art Therapy techniques, as needed. It is not necessary to be a good artist and clients do not have to try Art Therapy if they don't want to. Talk-therapy is also fine.

Art Therapy is an approach that uses the expression of our inner selves in a way that cannot be shown with words.
I believe that the journey through growth in therapy is unique to every person. I work with those that are seeking assistance through life transitions, are processing intense emotions, need space with an unbiased support, or are looking for ways to invoke mindfulness and expression. Our paths in life frequently change, along with our perceptions and experiences. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I am here to walk this path with you. Together we will explore obstacles and what makes us who we are to provide the power to change.

Do you or your child feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed? Or have days where you feel sad, depressed or isolated from the world? Do you struggle with friendships or relationships in your life where you feel unheard or misunderstood? Navigating through an ever changing world that's filled with constant stressors can be very difficult for most. It helps to have a safe space where you can process your feelings and emotions openly with no judgement. I pride myself in being a safe person for children, teens and adults to speak freely about their fears, challenges and worries. Support and guidance are my goals for our work together.

My therapeutic approach integrates traditional talk therapy and narrative and cognitive/behavioral work with art therapy, mindfulness, expressive and somatic-sensory modalities.
Joseph Campbell wrote, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are". I believe we are born wise. This wisdom can become clouded with life experiences that are difficult, painful or traumatic. These experiences can often overwhelm us to the extent that we forget who we are and we lose touch with our inherent personal power that is our birthright. My work with clients centers on reclaiming this power by processing feelings such as fear, shame or sadness and remembering how to love oneself unconditionally. When the head, heart and soul are in alignment, we are able to come home to ourselves in a powerfully transformative way.

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.
