Expressive Art Therapy for Trauma

“Luna grasps the situation even before I explain it, without judging it. But she never assumes she knows everything, I am not a fan of know-it-all therapists. Instead, you find yourself being understood as if you are a great book and she has read this book before. She can pick up signs and make connections that perhaps you had not made because she can often intuit more than I am able to share. Luna can put words to what I feel when my mind fails to do so and my heart is swollen. You don’t want someone to speak for you unless they can do it well, but better yet, she can lead you into saying your own truth with your own words.”

“I could not sing her praises highly enough. Luna is one of those people who brings with her a sense of calm, understanding, confidence, and professionalism that is rare to see all in one person. When she joins a conversation or enters a space, it takes only moments to recognize these qualities and appreciate how that translates to her care for all aspects of the work that she does. I have had the opportunity to see her in many roles: therapist, trainer, supervisor, collaborator, and colleague. She shines in all of them through her personality, professionalism, creativity, and hard work.”

When I first met with Luna, I struggled to rediscover my creative and artistic side. I thought I had lost the ability to do art: drawing, painting, or writing. Luna provided creative prompts and a non-judgemental and safe space where I was able to embrace my creativity, allowing myself to follow the whim of the moment, enjoying the journey of just making art. There was no pressure or trying to please anyone but myself. I could find my own inner voice. It feels really good to find that!
