Expressive Arts Therapy in Colorado Springs

Reconnect with yourself through creativity.

You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from expressive arts therapy.

We begin wherever you are. With a gentle, intuitive approach, we explore what kind of creative expression feels right for you—whether it’s journaling, movement, coloring, music, or discovering something new.

Because here’s the truth: I believe everyone is creative—and there’s no one “right” way to express it.

Creativity looks different for everyone.

It might be curating the ultimate ‘80s playlist to educate your Gen Alpha kids on real music, tweaking your famous pumpkin spice muffins after your partner’s recent celiac diagnosis, or weaving your bike rides into an already packed week.

What Expressive Arts Can Help With

In expressive arts therapy, it’s not about creating something “good”—it’s about the act of creating itself. There’s no judgment here. The focus is on the process, not the product. This gentle, body-centered approach can help you get more in tune with your emotions, reconnect with your body, and rediscover your voice.

If you’ve ever felt limited by talk therapy—or felt like words just aren’t enough—expressive arts therapy offers another form of healing.

  • You're in it for the long run—but that doesn't mean you have to push through alone. Whether you're a community organizer, educator, artist, or advocate, this work can wear on your spirit.

    Expressive arts therapy helps you process what you're holding, tap into your creative energy, and re-center your nervous system—so you can keep showing up with integrity, purpose, and care. Learn more about therapy for changemakers and activists.

  • You’re constantly navigating a world that doesn’t work with your wiring. Whether you live with ADHD, are a HSP, or identify as neurospicy, you know what it’s like to feel overstimulated and misunderstood. Expressive arts therapy gives you a space to unmask, unwind, and communicate in your own way—without needing to filter yourself. Learn more about neurodivergent affirming therapy.

  • You’ve been trying to feel safe in your skin—to come out, to reclaim who you are, or to navigate rejection with some sense of peace. Expressive arts therapy gives you space to explore your identity without pressure, judgment, or having to explain yourself. Learn more about LGBTQIA2S+ affirming therapy.

  • You’ve lived under systems that demanded obedience, erased your identity, or used fear to keep you small. Whether you’re deconstructing your beliefs or healing after leaving a cult or high-control group, expressive arts therapy offers a space to process the harm, rediscover your voice and identity, and begin to feel safe in your own skin again.

  • You’ve been through things that pulled you out of your body or made it feel like an unsafe place to be. Expressive arts therapy helps you gently return to yourself—through music, imagery, and creative expression that meet you where you are.

Maybe words have failed you.

Maybe traditional therapy hasn’t quite reached the places that hurt.

Maybe you’re craving something softer—more intuitive, more creative.

This work might be for you if:

  • You long to feel more like yourself again
  • You’ve been living in survival mode for too long
  • You want to explore your identity in a safe, affirming space
  • You feel disconnected from your body, your voice, or your joy
  • You’re ready to heal in a way that meets you where you are
