therapy for artists & creatives
Therapy for Painters, Dancers, Writers, Photographers, Singers, Potters, Sculptors, Actors, & more.
Artists and creatives are often HSPs who have brilliant minds, tender hearts, and sensitive souls.
Whether you’re highly sensitive or not, things like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can create self-doubt and block your creativity, making life harder than it needs to be.
You don’t have to live with those challenges. We can help.
Are you struggling to access your creative side?
Being an artist or a creative person is not for the faint of heart. You’re driven by something deeper than the rest of the world — your passion and love for your art guide you through life. They can bring you so much joy and fulfillment, and so much pain and insecurity at the same time.
It takes courage and vulnerability to put your passion on display for the world to see. You might find yourself riddled with imposter syndrome or frozen from a fear of failure or rejection. Whether you’re a singer, a writer, a sculptor, a musician, or any other type of artist, showing your work to others can feel like revealing your soul to the world.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional getting paid for your art, if your creativity is a hobby or passion project, or if you are just starting to explore your artistic identity. Therapy for Highly Sensitive People is here to support you in both your healing and your creative endeavors. We offer therapy for artists and creatives throughout California in our online teletherapy practice.

What to Expect From Therapy for Artists & Creatives
Therapy is a safe and sacred space where you can explore all facets of yourself, including your artistic identity and creative parts. Together with a therapist, you can explore your personal values, your definition of success as an artist, your fear of failure or rejection, and everything in-between. Therapy can also help you connect with your true authentic self for greater self-expression while you also build greater self-compassion and self-esteem.

How therapy for artists & creatives works…
Therapy is a sacred journey of self-exploration that can help you deepen your understanding of yourself and gain clarity on the role art plays in your life. This journey can also help you recognize how your art might play a role in your emotional healing. When you devote your life to your passion, you can burn out or get lost in the grind.
Therapy can help you find your love and reconnect with the spark that ignited your creativity.
