What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession that involves active art-making, the creative process and applied psychological theory within a psychotherapeutic relationship.

Are there costs for art supplies?

For those interested in art therapy, art supplies are provided to you for a nominal fee. Materials will be shipped to you for the telehealth services or provided in person.

What kind of technology do I need for telehealth?

Reliable, high-speed internet and an external camera connected to your computer are ideal but not required. This allows for tilting of the camera for shared art-making and demonstration purposes. ​

Is telehealth secure and private?

Create Balance Counseling offers in-person and telehealth therapy services. We currently meet with clients via telehealth through a HIPPA-compliant video platform.

What about emergencies?

We will establish and regularly update an emergency plan in case of medical or mental health emergencies during telehealth sessions. At the start of each session, I will confirm your location and address and confirm that you are in a private, safe space for your session.
