Today, through the amazing partnership between Whitney Museum of American Art and NYC Health + Hospitals, the HHArt of Medicine team offered our 25th workshop of 2025!!

This chilly Spring morning was spent exploring our inner and outer worlds inspired by Women's History Month and the bold mixed media art of Emma Amos.

So grateful to have been able to provide a space for the fabulous clinical team at The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC) to creatively process all that is happening around and within them during an emotional election week.

I had so much fun yesterday discussing #creativeresilience and #burnoutprevention in #familybuilding and running a #privatepractice on "The Creative Psychotherapist Offical Podcast," Season 3 Episode 13 with my fabulous colleague, Reina Lombardi, MA, ATR-BC, ATCS, LMHC-QS

The use of art as therapy has countless benefits for one's overall well-being. Creating “art for art’s sake” is an exercise of self-care that can cultivate self-compassion and aid in healing.

A recent "Discover" magazine article highlighted the benefits of visual art exposure on mental health. Viewing visual art activates the same brain reward systems as other pleasurable, highly sensory activities.
