Art Therapy in Oswego, NY

Society tells us that being a parent is a special gift. We’re supposed to love every minute of it, be nearly perfect, and never get impatient. That sounds ideal, but the truth is that parenting is hard. Being a kid is hard. I challenge you to find a parent who has never lost their temper, or a child who never complains! And when we do get it right we don’t usually get much recognition. That’s the difficult news. The good news is that parents and children can learn to have stronger connections, more fun together, and actually look forward to their time as a family. You may just need more support, education, and the tools to do it.

Are you experiencing higher levels of anxiety or stress? Do you feel frustrated and stuck? Do you want change but don't know what kind of change or how to get there? Are you going through a life transition? Do you question whether your life can have more meaning? Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same pattern over and over and don’t know how to change it?

My name is Katherine. I have a M.S. in Creative Arts Therapy from Nazareth College. I'm currently working under a Limited Permit in Creative Arts Therapy.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 6 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process.

Accepting New Clients! I welcome anyone that wants to feel better, gain insight and wants to put in the work to see positive changes in themselves. I believe that therapy can be beneficial for everyone. Let’s chat.

As people, we often find ourselves feeling confined by the beliefs of friends, family, and society. It can be paralyzing trying to meet what are often conflicting expectations, leaving us with chronic feelings of anxiety, stress, and shame. It can feel as if you are compromising your true self to please other people, struggling to balance what you want for yourself and what others ask of you. Thinking about the person that you want to be can be stressful, but self-discovery is a crucial step towards leading a more fulfilled life.

Accepting New Clients- Hello and welcome! Looking for a therapist, that is a good fit, can be challenging. Our work together is tailored to your unique needs and preferences. While accepting clients of all ages, I have a special interest in working with adults after graduating high school or entering college, maternal mental health and supporting parents and caregivers navigate life transitions and challenges.

If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or simply burned out, I am here to offer support and tools that can help you reclaim your vitality. It's incredibly common for people to experience daily struggles with trauma, attachment, communication, and social challenges. It's also common to deny ourselves the support we need to navigate these issues so we can thrive instead of survive. For over 15 years I have worked with trauma, anxiety, relationship issues and somatic challenges with a variety of modalities including EMDR, art therapy and psychedelic assisted therapy. I provide concierge billing and sliding scale prices.
