Spotted Rabbit Studio

Spotted Rabbit Studio Therapy that doesn’t try to fix you--plus creative art classes that support growth.

We empower neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folx, and those who’ve experienced trauma, to live authentically and in alignment with their values. Spotted Rabbit Creative Arts Therapy is a group of licensed art therapists offering psychotherapy and therapeutically minded classes for youth ages 5+ and adults of all abilities. Utilizing a combination of talk therapy and art making we take a trauma-focused, neurodivergent and LGBTQ affirming, action oriented approach to therapy in order to help you live an authentic life aligned with your own personal values. Our therapists specialize in complex trauma/childhood emotional neglect, LGBTQ issues and gender exploration, developmental disorders including ADHD and autism, disordered eating, and dissociative disorders.

It may be a cloudy Thursday outside…but tonight inside Blue Heron Collective, there’s color, creativity, and a little extra light.🎨☀️

Spots are still available for our Art Class—and we’d love to see what you create.

This class explores the creative process in a way that feels supportive and open. Your instructor, Evelyn Varlan, LCAT-P, will show you how to: build technical and interpersonal skills, develop your style, and share your artwork within the community. All at your own pace.

Each week we bring fresh materials and inspiration. You’re welcome to follow along with guided ideas, or use the variety of materials to create whatever calls to you.

Spotted Rabbit had a great time bringing some much needed art-based restorative practices to . Participants were able to use art to connect with themselves, others, and the things in life that matter most to them. They also learned about the difference between rest and restoration and tried out a guided imagery walk in the forest!

"As someone with OCD, rest tends to come second (or last) to everything else. There is an ongoing urge to be productive in all ways and at all times. These mantras gently push back against that cycle and challenge the idea that rest is lazy or avoidant. Rest is not a reward, it is a need that deserves to be met." -Art Therapist, Emma

Your anxiety isn’t broken—it’s protective.

Your nervous system is trying to keep you safe, even when it feels overwhelming. We work with your body, not against it, so calm becomes something you can actually access.
