Experiential Therapy in Lewisville, TX
Therapy does not have to be a beatdown. Healing and growth can be demanding, exhausting, and have high stakes. Having support, a clear plan, and reliable evidence-based approaches adapted to your unique situation can sustain hope through the hardest times and bring changes that feel impossible within reach. You are the expert in your own life. Change is most meaningful and lasting when we are supported in discovering our own insights and solutions within the safety of compassionate relationships. My first goal is to help create a safe place for you to have a voice and access your natural capacity for healing.

“If all is well, why do I feel this way?” Do you find yourself asking this question frequently? Knowing something is wrong but you’re not sure what it is or why it is. Maybe you are doing well in some areas of your life, but you feel like something is missing and you are not satisfied with where you are. If this is you, It sounds like you’ve come to a place that acknowledges “just because I’m functioning, does not meant I’m fine”

I enjoy the process of walking alongside my clients’ unique experiences when they feel that they may be at their lowest point. I strive to provide a positive and encouraging space for my clients to become aware of the issues in their paths, while also helping them to uncover the hidden tools that they have access to.

Experiential Therapy
How does experiential therapy work?
Experiential therapy works by allowing an individual to use their creativity to re-imagine themselves and their lives in an effort to process their emotions. Experiential therapy may take many forms, including engaging clients through art, re-enactments, role-playing, music, or forms of physical recreation. By focusing on these activities, experiential therapists help individuals identify the emotions they associate with previous experiences and work together to cope with negative reactions, like fear, anger, or shame.
Is experiential therapy evidence-based?
Experiential therapy incorporates many therapy modalities, some of which have been more closely researched than others. Music therapy, for example, has been shown to help with sleep problems. Some studies find that art therapy can be beneficial for those with eating disorders or personality disorders, while other research suggests that such approaches have little impact.
How long does experiential therapy last?
The duration of experiential therapy will depend on the type of therapy used as well as the severity of the challenges an individual faces. Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Art therapy may comprise 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or on an as-needed basis. For each therapy type, clients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
Does experiential therapy help with trauma?
Trauma is one area where experiential therapy may be useful. Traumatic experiences such as combat or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating visual art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. Listening to music can be relaxing, while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, or who have been physically or emotionally abused.
