Refreshing Outdoor in Perry Hall, Maryland
Why I Love It: Connecting with nature is such a gift. It’s an honor. I absolutely cherish our outdoor walk-and-talk therapy sessions. These moments allow us to explore your thoughts and feelings amidst the beauty of the natural world, creating a refreshing and uplifting experience!
Benefits:
Gentle Movement: Walking helps release those feel-good endorphins, making it easier to open up about your experiences. It’s a beautiful way to start your day, bringing positivity and energy before heading off to school or work.
Nature as a Co-Therapist: The ever-changing landscape and soothing sounds of nature create a unique backdrop for our sessions, providing inspiration and calm.
Flexibility: The dynamic nature of walking and talking allows for fluid conversations, breaking down barriers and encouraging authentic expression.
Virtual Art Therapy Accessible Anywhere in Maryland
Why I Love It: Virtual therapy offers incredible flexibility and accessibility, allowing you to engage in art therapy from the comfort of your own home or any cozy spot that suits you. It’s a wonderful option for those with busy lives, and I’m here to make it as convenient as possible!
Convenience: No need to travel! You can easily fit therapy into your schedule, making self-care a priority in the morning, during your work/school day, or even in the afternoon!
Comfortable Setting: Being in a familiar environment helps reduce anxiety and fosters openness. You can feel relaxed and ready to explore your creativity (with your cute pet cat on our lap).
Wider Access: Virtual sessions make my services available to individuals across Maryland, ensuring everyone can find support and healing.
Making Your Choice
When deciding which setting feels right for you, consider the following:
Personal Preferences: Think about which environment makes you feel most at ease—whether it’s a structured office, the embrace of nature, or the comfort of home.
Therapeutic Goals: Reflect on what you hope to achieve in therapy. Are you seeking deep emotional exploration, the benefits of physical movement, or the flexibility of virtual sessions?
Logistical Considerations: Every intake session is virtual, allowing us to get you started as soon as possible. Many clients find that a hybrid schedule—combining in-office, outdoor, and virtual sessions—works best for them! This flexibility lets you enjoy the benefits of each environment while fitting therapy into your life seamlessly.
