Linda Turner, ATR-BC, LCAT

Welcome. I am a New York City based art therapist  and  psychotherapist who will work with you in a supportive, open and creative environment, with you as the expert on your life and me as your partner in exploration, growth and change.


In doing art therapy, you are invited to use both visual arts and verbal exploration to look at your life; and then as the creation of a new image unfolds, as the choice of a new material is made, as you learn to reframe your past, master your feelings, and create new thought patterns, new ways of living parallel. To begin this creative and healing process please contact me for an introductory consultation.


With over twelve years experience as an art therapist in New York City, I have worked with individuals of all ages on a variety of issues and challenges including, though not limited to relationships, life and career transitions,  trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, loss, grief and coping with medical illness.

 

Do you need to consider yourself an “artist” to use art psychotherapy? Absolutely not. Can you be an artist? Of course. When you are creating, it can be as simple as pounding on clay or picking up a marker and allowing your hand to move. It is not about knowing how to draw, though knowing how to draw is wonderful; it is about connecting to yourself in a unique way, which can provide new awareness, development, growth and change.

What is Art Therapy  

"Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages.
