Working with Creatives
Since creatives are typically in tune with their authentic inner voice, they know that something’s wrong and that action needs to be taken. This is the same part of them that is the birthplace of much of their creative out-put, so they know to trust it.
Creative Passion
About three years into my private practice, I had a realization – approximately 75% of my clients were creatives – actors, filmmakers, writers, illustrators, sculptors, fashion designers, crafters, and more.
Sure, this might be because I’m in Los Angeles, but I think it also has to do with my belief that creatives are uniquely suited to participate in and benefit from therapy.
Creative Results from Therapy
Since you’re reading this page, I’m going to assume you are creative in some way, whether it’s how you make your living or a hobby you’re passionate about. I find that most creative people are highly sensitive, insightful, and curious about their own emotional and mental inner world. These qualities make a person much more likely to get results from therapy.
In working with creatives, I validate and foster their artistic and imaginative impulses. Our goal is to bring forth the inherent attributes they use to create art to also help them develop inner resources that assist them in dealing with emotional turmoil. Sometimes we even work to use their struggles to help them produce meaningful artistic creations in their medium of choice.
I purposefully create a safe space where you can explore the parts of yourself that are not flourishing. I will hold your pain until you are ready to heal and transform it.
Lean into your creative abilities!
And no, I’m never going to tell you to give up your art for a “real job.” I want my clients to spend most of their time on what they are passionate about and what fulfills their soul. Relinquishing your dreams won’t give that to you; leaning into your innate creative abilities will!
