Let's Co-Create


Welcome! Co-creation in therapy is a collaborative process that honors the power of working together to enact positive change. Whether it is working through an artistic "block," building a family, or exploring relationship issues within the therapeutic space, co-creation involves:

Collaboration to develop 
Coping skills and 
Compassion for Self and Others.
​
Connection,
Community, and finding 
Common ground also helps facilitate healing and growth, reminding us that we are not alone in our suffering. 

Art Therapy


Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession combining psychological theory, counseling approaches, and artmaking to provide a safe space to heal and grow within the context of a therapeutic relationship. For creatives, those who are “talked out” from traditional psychotherapy approaches, or maybe just less prone to expressing themselves verbally, art therapy can feel like a liberating and less threatening way of accessing difficult material at one’s own pace.

Reproductive Mental Health


Becoming a parent and building a family entails massive bio-psycho-social-transitions. Therapy can help with grounding, clarifying, and exploring issues that may have resurfaced through this vulnerable and sometimes messy life stage. 

​Reproductive mental health supports individuals and families at any point in their reproductive journey, including all birthing or postpartum persons or partners, those trying to conceive, non-binary families and individuals building their families and navigating barriers that may exist, those struggling with fertility issues, affected by pregnancy or infant loss, traumatic birth, and/or perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
"Creativity takes courage." -Henri Matisse

Sharon Itkoff Nacache ATR-BC LCAT LPAT PMH-C


My psychotherapy approach is grounded in principles of cultural humility, humanism, and the healing power of an empathic creative process. I believe that the act of creating something——in any form——with embodied, full presence can combat burnout and stress symptoms, while engaging the symbolism within a work of art or art-making process can lead to insight into deeper conflict or sometimes hidden issues through the safe distance of metaphor. Whether it's through verbal psychotherapy, an active creative process, or combination of the two, the lens through which we explore concerns is focused on self discovery, healing, and empowerment.
