Looking for an Austin, TX therapist who can ignite your creative spark?

online art therapy for anxiety, depression, & stress

You’re thinking of finding a therapist who can help…

You’ve been feeling as though you’re in the dark, unable to find the light in your life. You’re the type of person who gives so much to others, but you have discovered that “giving until it feels good” has lead to more anxiety, depression, and stress. You used to have so much joy and energy, but your creative spark burned out a while ago.

Anxiety, depression, and stress are taking a toll on you

You know you’re supposed to practice something called “self-care”, but how can a life of selflessness leave room for taking care of yourself? That doesn’t make sense. And no matter how hard you try to get a handle on taking care of yourself, you’re still exhausted.

You don’t recognize who you are anymore

You don’t have anything to help guide you through all the gloom and doom that seems to be your life these days. But what if you could find a way to tap into the creativity that used to help you see all the possibilities in each moment? What would it be like to be YOU again?

My name is Megan, and I’m a therapist who can help you create a better outcome for yourself

As a board-certified art therapist and licensed counselor, I know firsthand how giving and giving and giving can snuff out the creative spark that’s necessary for living life in color. The ironic thing about reigniting my creative spark was that it gave me even more light to share with others. Now I’m doing that by supporting others as they recover from overwhelm, unhappiness, and burnout, helping them grow into the power sources they were meant to be.

Anxiety, depression, and stress are not signs that you’ve failed; they’re just indicators that change is needed! The people I’ve worked with in art therapy have said they appreciate my gentle, soothing approach as they literally use their hands and eyes to create better outcomes for themselves. You can create a better outcome for yourself too, and I’d love to help you find a starting point for that and cheer you on as you grow and glow.

Are you ready to let go of anxiety, depression, and stress?

You deserve to have a self again and find your true colors. Please contact me for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation and learn how online art therapy can help you physically connect to long-lost thoughts and feelings that support your ability to create choice and change. I serve adults in Texas, Indiana, and Arizona who are ready to ignite their creative spark so they can shine bright again!

 Art therapy for anxiety, depression, & stress? YES!

To create is to exercise choice and initiate change. It’s hard to exercise choice and initiate change when you’re in the throes of emotional distress, and that’s why it’s so important to use creativity as a tool for reversing the damage that’s being done.

You were born to create solutions for life’s challenges

Truly creative people are able to integrate different neural networks as they make decisions and solve problems. That’s the opposite of relying on habitual ways of dealing with challenges–and emotional distress like anxiety and depression will force people into operating out of habit. Many distressed people try to overcome challenges using the same old methods, and their lack of success causes further distress.

You were born to expand your comfort zone

When you create in art therapy, you’re engaging so much more than your ability to talk–you’re tapping directly into your nervous system through your eyes and hands. The magic happens in your body, which is actually the source of your thoughts and feelings!

Experiences in art therapy are titrated to promote internal shifts that are specific to your needs and put you in control as you break free of habitual ways of being and explore the unfamiliar. That’s where you’ll ultimately find a bigger and better comfort zone for a bigger and better you.

You were born to find balance

I provide treatment through a framework called the Expressive Therapies Continuum, which means I am tracking your artmaking process, art products, and related verbalizations according to the various ways your nervous system takes in and metabolizes information. Some of these ways are physical, some are emotional, and some are intellectual.

Once your information processing pattern has been detected, we can discuss strategies for exercising choice and initiating change to create a more integrated version of yourself who can balance the demands of the outer world with the needs of the inner world. And isn’t balance what you’re ultimately looking for?
