[Art therapy provides a unique opportunity for creative expression in moments when words alone are insufficient or inaccessible. Art creation, when facilitated by a trained art therapist, allows for safe, externalized, exploration of life experiences and trauma as well as seeks to build resilience. While Casey is a trained art therapist, she also employs traditional psychotherapy approaches and mindfully chooses interventions to fit each of her unique clients.]
