Therapists at Healing Arts Collaborative work from an intersectional lens, meaning we believe that most people experience multiple, layered oppressions. We will work with you to address the impact of those experiences in the context of your individual, relationship + family, or group therapy.
Individual Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes in length, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. In individual therapy, you and your therapist will work together to help you meet self-determined goals. We always affirm and trust in you as the expert of your own experience.
Relationship and Family Therapy sessions are typically 53 minutes in length, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. In relationship or family therapy, two or more people in any type of relationship will work with a therapist to help the clients meet self-determined goals. Relationship or family therapy is appropriate for all relationship constellations including chosen and biological families, romantic relationships and polycules, friendships, community relationships, and other interpersonal relationships. Your therapist can offer tools to encourage communication between loved ones and practice effective decision making within relationships.
Group Therapy sessions typically run 60-90 minutes in length, include 10 or fewer members, and take place in our office space or online via telehealth. Therapy groups are intended to serve as safer spaces where group members can give and receive support, and share in healing together. Therapy groups at Healing Arts Collaborative are typically designed around a specific theme.

Your first appointment is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other. You will discuss what brings you to therapy, and your therapist will explain how your work together might look. If you do not vibe with your therapist after your first appointment (or first few appointments), that is okay! We will never be offended by this and will always happy to help you find another therapist at Healing Arts Collaborative or elsewhere.
When your appointment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email and/or text with instructions to access your virtual telehealth appointment. You are invited to bring your own art materials to any virtual meetings. Please reach out to your therapist via text or email if you have trouble accessing your appointment.

WHAT WE THINK WE DESERVE:
An art therapy workshop for self-love and future-dreaming.
Many of us receive messages, throughout our lives, that we are unworthy. Unworthy of love, unworthy of respect, unworthy of joy or pleasure, unworthy of patience, unworthy of safety, unworthy of dignity, care, humanity. This happens to most humans in modern culture, and it becomes compounded as we experience multiple layers of oppression in a white supremacist, cis-heteropatriarchal, ableist, ageist, capitalist society. In this workshop, we make art to reclaim our inherent worthiness, in spite of all that has been hurled at us.

WHO I AM was an art-based workshop series for teens by Yael Divon, MSATC (of Cary Art Therapy) and Cassie Hamrick, ATR-BC, LCMHC (of Healing Arts Collaborative). Each two-hour session involved art-making and teen-centered conversation about identity, self-esteem, and healthy relationships.
