I work with clients using mindfulness and experiential-based forms of psychotherapy to help them transform their lives. My philosophy is based on a firm belief that all of us are moving toward health and healing in the best way we know how. We want to live our lives more fully but often blocks are preventing us from doing so. With a non-pathologizing approach, I help clients understand how coping strategies, although brilliant at conception, can become less helpful and outdated once we move into different environments. We can become stuck in patterns of behavior that don’t match what our lives look like in the present. Through Somatic Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, and dreamwork I work with our unexpressed parts in order to voice and incorporate those parts into our most authentic whole selves.

I know we want to make changes in our lives - live more fully, feel more connected have more stable relationships - but if you’ve been stuck in the process of trying to make these changes, there’s an underlying reason that can be uncovered in our work together so that real transformation is ahead for you.

Therapy is a space where we can slow down and tune into the deeper layers of our experiences. My approach is experiential, focused on honoring each person’s humanity and their capacity for transformation, while maintaining a non-pathologizing stance. I value the many forms of communication, both spoken and unspoken, and the ways in which we can uncover and articulate feelings through insight, creativity, and play. I aim to help clients reconnect with their authentic selves, break free from rigid patterns, and foster deeper intimacy and understanding in their relationships and in their lives. clara@creativeartspsychotherapynyc.com

Through this process, I encourage the inner muse while helping clients utilize the inner critic in a productive and manageable manner."
