INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ALL
Carla Rose, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.”
Hi, I’m Carla
I am a NYC based licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Board-certified Art Therapist, proud mom and artist with over 20 years experience working with people from age 3 to 99.
After 12 years working at Montefiore Medical Center, I opened my private practice in 2019.
For deeply entrenched issues, talking is not always enough. By accessing your innate creativity, we can process emotional issues in a way that promotes clarity and new perspectives. Together, we will shed light on those things that you are ready to change in order to improve your quality of life by considering your resources and your options.
In addition, we will work together to find what helps you with self-regulation so you are not at the mercy of your emotions.
Not just therapy as usual.
What is Creative Arts Therapy?
Creative Arts Therapy uses expressive means to treat emotional, somatic and mental health conditions.
Creative Arts Therapy can help you understand your emotions and learn self-regulation to keep calm and learn to respond rather than to react.
Creative Arts Therapy does not require any artistic ability. We help you channel thoughts and emotions through artistic expression of any kind.
Creative Arts Therapy provides a universal language for communication, with the experience of connection.

A great woman with the most healing presence you’ll ever meet! Carla has helped me thru many hard times and has provided me a safe space for self reflection, acceptance, along with releasing energies you can’t control. -EMB
Carla is an excellent therapist. After years of trying different approaches, Carla's full body art therapy was a breakthrough for me. By tailoring our sessions to my needs, I found exactly what I needed. If you are looking for a compassionate, thoughtful, and patient therapist, I highly recommend Carla. -MDJ
Carla Rose is a wonderful therapist. She provides a nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. The art therapy practices she uses provide good insight into thoughts and feelings that are hard to otherwise explain. I was able to work through a lot of previously unspoken, sometimes even unknown problems that were deeply affecting me thanks to Carla Rose. -LR
