Art Therapy

 A safe space to heal and grow through art 

Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession combining psychological theory around human development, counseling techniques, and elements of the creative process to provide a safe space to heal and grow within the context of a therapeutic relationship.

 

For creatives or those who feel stuck or “talked out” from traditional psychotherapy approaches, art therapy can feel like a liberating way of accessing deeper material at one’s own pace.

Reproductive Mental Health

"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation.

Healing is an act of communion." -bell hooks

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

 

​Reproductive mental health supports all birthing or postpartum individuals, partners or families at any point in their reproductive journeys, including those trying to conceive and facing fertility issues, those struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, those impacted by perinatal loss, healing from a trauma birth experience, or navigating parenting stress beyond infancy.

Meet Sharon

"Creativity takes courage." -Henri Matisse

Sharon Itkoff Nacache

ATR-BC LCAT LPAT PMH-C

I am a trauma-informed, attachment-based, relational clinician.

 

I wholeheartedly believe that creative acts–in any form–expressed with vulnerability and embodied, full presence have inherent mental health and physiological benefits that help to access authentic aspects of the self that lay dormant or are needing to be seen or heard.

 

My psychotherapy approach is grounded in principles of cultural humility, humanism, and the healing power of an empathic expressive process.
