My name is Michelle Waters and I am a licensed counselor (LCPC) and art therapist (ATR). My passion is to help people find their inner power and cultivate the true self through art and talk therapy. I believe that creating art with my clients provides a safe space to discuss issues that might be challenging to talk about otherwise. Therapy is tough, but embedding art in that process takes some of the pressure off and helps develop positive and healthy coping skills. Some of my favorite materials to work with include ceramics, drawing, comics, painting, crochet, and sewing.
I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs. We problem solve together to set a new course and examine the many factors that contribute to mental health. I have used art therapy to help clients with Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/trauma, and Executive Dysfunction.
Therapy can be really challenging for someone who can’t quite put into words what is going on. Art therapy can be a way to express thoughts and feelings in a safe, contained space. Reach out today to see if this might be the fit for you, I’d love to hear from you.
