Welcome! 

I am so glad you are here. Please take a moment to think about these questions. You don't have to answer any of them; though I deeply hope that it will help us shape our work together. 

Please take time to free-write for 5-10 minutes on these questions. 

What brings you to an expressive arts session at this time? 

What are you transitioning toward (or away from)?

What would ease your transition? 

Besides therapy, or in addition to therapy, what have you tried during this time?  

What were the outcomes of those attempts?

What is your immediate goal around this problem?

Please know that this individual (or group session) is not therapy.  I am a therapist, but coming to this group (or individual session) does not mean I am your therapist.  Please let me know if you have any questions at all or if you need referrals for psychotherapy.
