Art Therapy, Clinical Social Work, & Somatic Experiencing
Hi, I'm Dana.
I am a licensed art therapist, clinical social worker, and somatic experiencing practitioner based in the upper west side of New York City.
I support children, teens, and adults in their healing from the effects of trauma or anxiety.
My approach to therapy integrates traditional talk therapy with tuning into body sensations, movement, breathe, and art making.
While we may look back at what got you here, the focus of our work is in the "here and now" present moment. We identify how your historical experiences might live in your body today. Using imagery, movement, and sensation we work to move what may be stuck.
The people that find the most success in this type of therapy tend to be self reflective, creative individuals who are looking for therapy that goes beyond talking.
Reach out for a free consultation.
EXPERIENCE
I have been practicing as an art therapist for over 17 years. Along with my private practice work, I am a senior art therapist at New York Creative Art Therapists, PLLC.
I spent seven years working as a trauma therapist with children, families, and NYC case workers to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue.
Earlier on in my career I supported children, teens, and adults of all ages at an outpatient mental health agency, as well as providing in home therapy for children in foster care.
I come to this work with deep gratitude and humility in witnessing people in their darkest moments move through their healing journey.
