From Our Clients

  • “The art therapy classes are fun. They are tastefully done. There are different topics considered which lead you to examine trains of thought and feelings you may not even know exist."

    -Lorraine B.

  • “I enjoyed the art therapy classes I took with Joanne. We had one project where we drew an imperfect dog and a perfect dog, then discussed the emotions connected to them. Even though religion is not part of the curriculum, mine provided me comfort when dealing with a variety of emotions.”

    -Clare H.

  • “Joanne was an excellent art therapy teacher. Her kind manner and clear instructions made it easy for me to complete each assignment with confidence. Before taking this class, I had never considered art therapy as an emotional outlet. Through Joanne's guidance, I was able to express my emotions and process them through my artwork, which was incredibly therapeutic. I would highly recommend a class to anyone looking for a supportive and meaningful creative experience.”

    -Barbara R.

  •  "These Art Therapy classes that I've been taking with Joanne have been a true support in listening to my body & be calmer, (even if it's just during the class). It's really started to help me understand myself on a deeper level. When you feel you can't express your pain or joy in words, art can really aid in getting your feelings out in a healthy & fun way - because it doesn't all have to be serious! It also has assisted me in talking on certain topics with family members that we wouldn't necessarily have discussed previously."

    -Sylvia 

  • “ When we need directions to get somewhere, we first have to know where we are. For me, art therapy with Joanne was a gentle—and enjoyable—way of gaining insight into myself and understanding where I am at. Identifying emotions through art felt safe and non‑confrontational, helping me discover who I am and why I am where I am in this moment. Now that I can clearly identify specific emotions, I feel better able to move forward and begin addressing them. Although I participated in only one session, the experience left me curious and inspired to explore what continued art therapy could offer.”
