Sound Well Creative Arts Therapy, PLLC is an integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy practice with a holistic, approach using tools from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, EMDR, music therapy, sound healing, Reiki, and creative arts therapies.
Whether it's through creative processes, talking, or just being in the therapeutic space together to see what unfolds, the basis of our collaborative work is the idea that our inherent well-being is attainable and already whole.
Through creative inquiry and deep listening, we can begin to find connections to undiscovered parts of ourselves, unlocking unconscious thought patterns and behaviors that might keep us feeling stuck and to let go of negative beliefs that may be holding us back from our full potential.
Therapy is a collaborative journey and through the process of healing, deep feelings and emotions may arise.
Participation in therapy and healing does not guarantee problem resolution. As with all medical, psychological, and energy healing treatments, there are both benefits and risks. Please feel free to ask questions and address any concerns you may have about our process as we take this journey together. I look forward to working with you!

"3 C's of Mindfulness in Creativity"
Compassion, Curiosity, and Creativity.
Compassion
is at the core of the therapeutic alliance in every session, providing a sense of safety to release emotions, and begin to move and grow in new and healthy directions while feeling seen, heard, and supported during the healing process.
Creativity
is what helps us re-frame situations, see things through a new perspective, and think "outside the box." Self-inquiry using music, movement, meditation, creative writing, and visual art, can elicit positive shifts in our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions. It is through creativity that we are able to access a deeper understanding and acceptance of ourselves and situations that might otherwise seem insurmountable. The creative arts therapies help us embark on the
journey of self-actualization and well-being.
Curiosity
is what allows us to discover things we never knew were possible by promoting balanced perspectives around our relationships to people and events. Curiosity helps us to accept, listen, observe non-judgmentally, and be open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. Changing patterns in conscious and unconscious behavior and emotional response can lead us towards a healthy and happy life.
