Art Therapy is a creative, evidence-based approach that helps clients express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Through drawing, painting, collage, and other artistic processes, clients can explore their inner world in a safe, supportive environment.

You do not need to be an artist to benefit from Art Therapy. The focus is on the process—not the final product.

Art Therapy can help clients:

Process trauma and overwhelming emotions

Improve emotional regulation

Build self-awareness and self-expression

Reduce stress and anxiety

Support healing for children, teens, and adults

In sessions, the therapist guides clients to use art making as a tool to reflect, express, and understand themselves more deeply. This approach can be especially helpful for clients who struggle to talk about their experiences or who feel more comfortable expressing themselves creatively.

Art Therapy is available for children (ages 8+), adolescents, adults, and seniors.

Actually ME operates off the belief to provide a safe space where clients are heard and unconditionally accepted for all that they come with.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals resolve traumatic memories and other psychological issues through a structured, yet rapid process. It combines elements from various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to facilitate rapid recovery.

EMDR. This form of therapy assumes that the trauma or distress experienced by a person has caused their world view to be shaped negatively. This then impacts the person’s ability to cope with life experiences in a healthy positive manner. EMDRs therapy model utilizes the participants' experience to guide them in desensitization and reprocessing distress associated with the trauma. EMDR is a model that has been proven to help HEAL trauma and prepare you to face and create a life satisfying life.
