Art Therapy
Art therapy is not about making “good art” it is about opening up to the creative process, it is an opportunity that requires us to be brave and open and not judge ourselves. In art therapy we practice letting go of control. Unlike language, images have the ability to hold many ideas at the same time. This allows for the complexity of your experiences to be expressed more easily. For example, expressing feelings through an art therapy session can be fun yet might quickly show a multitude of layers of self discovery.
Sessions are 90 min
Gender Affirmative Care
Joanna provides GAC. She believes that no gender identity or expression is pathological (Keo-Meier & Ehrensaft, 2018), that they are all natural variations of humanity (Coolhart & Shipman, 2017), and that any pathology that is present is a result of transphobia, homophobia, and sexism, rather than a disturbance in the child (Coolhart, 2012; Hidalgo et al., 2013) or adult.
