Hello! Hola! I am Rebeca carvajal and I specialize in art therapy. Art therapy is instrumental in helping those who have a hard time expressing verbally what is going on. It can hep those who find their feelings or thoughts confusing or overwhelming. You do not have to be an “artist” to be in art therapy or be skilled in art making. Art making brings about in a safe way difficult stories, unspoken feelings, inner reflections, and identity exploration. My goal is to help clients connect to themselves, find joy, and manage difficult emotions better. I can also provide therapy in spanish and I am immigrant myself.
I incorporate mindfulness, CBT, trauma-informed care, brainspotting, and expressive arts theories. I specialize in working with adolescents (10 years +) and adults. I also specialize in the following topics: PTSD, Life Transitions, Depression, Anxiety, Self-care, and Loss & Grief. Clients also have access to many art supplies during the session in person.
The healing process is a unique journey and I will be honored to guide you and listen to you. If you are curious about art therapy and how it may help please reach out! I provide therapy in person and virtually in Charlotte.
