It was an absolute honor and pleasure to share our NYC Health + Hospitals Arts in Medicine Art Observation workshop at the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of the UNGA Healing Arts Week this past Friday. Thank you to all who organized, participated wholeheartedly in, and supported this magnificent event. Creative collaboration and education across disciplines increases visibility and elevates the power of the Arts in healing! Post by Sharon Itkoff Nacache ATR-BC LCAT LPAT PMH-C

 Francie Lyshak remains one of my most cherished mentors and role models as a published author and illustrator, brilliant art therapist, and prolific professional artist. We met 15 years ago during my training at Pratt Institute when she was my supervisor at an internship in an inpatient child psychiatric facility where she worked for 30 yrs. Aside from modeling authentic therapeutic presence and stellar clinical acumen, she inspires me to continue to nurture my craft and creative fire, and follow it as it changes shape and form during different life stages.
Here we are standing in front of one of her oil paintings currently on display at @lichtundfire gallery on the LES in NYC. Entitled “Half Crazy,” she describes it as “two textured colors bound together in a fleeting balance” from her “Couples” series, showing through 9/28. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood! #mentor #arttherapylife #abstractminimalism #reductiveart #artheals #practicewhatyoupreach Post by Sharon Itkoff Nacache ATR-BC LCAT LPAT PMH-C  Are you a perinatal professional in the NY Metro area interested in building community and growing your network?
