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.
