We are now offering a weekly Collage Art Therapy Group! You are invited to join lead Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist, Holly Porter, LMHC, in an interactive open-group that focuses on the therapeutic art form of intuitive collage.

Each week, members can expect to engage their own intuitive artistic expression through the technique of collage. Collage art therapy is a simple form of art therapy that can help you see your inner life in a fresh way. Like other versions of art therapy, collage art therapy can provide a symbolic expression of thoughts and emotions. With artistic expression, we may allow ourselves to essentially “meet” the inner parts of ourselves with a sense of curiosity, compassion, and understanding.

All supplies are provided; so grab your tea, channel your inner Bob Ross, and come join us! Each group session is limited to the 12 members. You can register for the group by calling our office. We’ll meet on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:45pm.

October's Theme is Self Esteem-

Week 1 (October 6th): Unique Genius
Week 2 (October 13th): Examining Self Talk
Week 3 (October 20th): True Value
Week 4 (October 27th): Confronting Social Conditioning

Please call to reserve your spot!
