West Coast Art Therapy
My name is Gwen, and I am an Art Therapist who would love to support you on your journey. Utilizing shape, color & line, I assist clients in expressing themselves and communicating when words are sometimes not enough.
You do NOT have to be good at art. Rather, it is more about the process of creating and gaining insight into your experience as an individual, couple or family. Explore projects here.
At West Coast Art Therapy, we believe in nurturing a space where you feel understood and supported. As an art therapist, I am dedicated to helping you on your journey to growth and healing, every step of the way.
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way.”

OUR SERVICES
-
Individuals that are experiencing things such as grief, anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Working with art materials such as watercolor, acrylic paints and clay can help a client to express their experiences often bypassing the need for words & accessing trauma and shaping it into something new and healing.
If you feel this is good fit for you, please contact me to discuss possibilities.
-
Couples counseling can help with developing communication styles by emphasizing what is already working for you to deepen your connection.
By exploring your own and your partner’s love “maps” (Gottman) through art and writing, the client can find new and positive ways to connect.
-
Working with families in a group situation offers new opportunities to develop communication, build cohesion & deepen connections.
Using art activities that have their basis in play, we can find new ways to connect with each other.
