Art Therapy in Easton, PA
Why art therapy?
Art has been deeply woven into how humans have been expressing themselves in history. It is a natural practice that allows the part of us that feels undefined, messy, and emotional to be expressed fully unlike words that don’t do justice to our inner experiences.
Im Jenn Matthes, LPC ATR BC and offer art therapy services for all ages in Silk Mill at Renew Wellness Psychotherapy Offices; 641 N. 13th St. Suite E- 101, Easton, Pennsylvania, 18042.
What to expect working with me at this location;
This a safe space that has opportunities to enjoy the shops, ice cream, food, and more services available at the Easton Silk Mill before or after your session.
The office always has water or coffee for you in the waiting room and great magazines!
In my office space we have the comfort of a couch setting to process and discuss how your week has been and what therapeutic goal we want to focus on for the day.
I have art supplies and engaging activities we can resource to process some feelings or situations that need some more nurturing.
What approaches I focus on;
I found a lot of our discomfort within our lives and suffering is caused by isolating ourselves. Not just from others but isolating from ourself and life in general. We can get in habits of isolation with not; feeling our feelings, reflecting on our experiences, being present, celebrating little joys, engaging with our sense of humor, embracing comfort and rest, engaging with nature, enjoying our meals, being in our bodies, allowing messy creativity, being kind to us, and so much more.
This happens usually because somewhere along the line shutting down was safer than being here or we just never learned to digest our experiences without it being harmful to us.
Building the resiliency to feel, experience life, and be you fully is key to correcting those habits that keep us from feeling well. This is why I focus on connection in my therapy with building bridges a little bit at a time to ourself to break the isolation. When you find more connection, you find you were all you needed at the end of the day. My sessions are just a safe container for you to journey back to you. Thank you for considering me to be along for the ride.
