Art therapy is an integrative approach that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active artmaking. People of all ages can benefit from the creative process.

Marie Mauro, LPC has extensive experience in combining Expressive Arts Therapy and Brainspotting as a Therapeutic Approach for Individual Counseling Sessions
Expressive Arts Therapy and Brainspotting are both therapeutic approaches that can help people process trauma. Expressive arts therapy allows people to express their emotions through art and imagery, while brainspotting uses eye movements to help people access and process memories. Combining these approaches can help people explore and process deep emotions and trauma.
