Creative Connections and Well-being

Creative Connections and Well-being We bridge the gap between mental health support and creative expression with arts-based sessions in a stigma-free space.

Through workshops, groups, and partnerships, we foster self-exploration, stress relief, and community connection. I am Christine Atkinson ATR-BC, LCAT, a board certified creative arts therapist and educator passionate about helping individuals reconnect with themselves through creative expression. I hold a master’s degree in Creative Arts Therapy and a bachelor’s degree in Art Education and am currently pursuing a PhD in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University. I believe that everyone has the potential to enhance their well-being, find fulfillment, and cultivate happiness in their daily lives. I integrate creative tools with a supportive and non-judgmental approach, understanding that words aren’t always enough. Creative expression offers a powerful, non-threatening way to process emotions, and no artistic skills are required—just a willingness to explore and engage. I take a collaborative approach, helping clients strengthen their foundation, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover their identity. I am dedicated to providing an authentic, creative space that fosters growth, self-expression, and self-actualization. My experience includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, professional identity challenges, anxiety, stress, intrapersonal conflict, and art therapy supervision.
