About Us – Art of the Soul Studio
At Art of the Soul, we are a community-based, online art therapy and mental health counseling collective dedicated to supporting individuals across the lifespan. We use a lifespan developmental model, grounded in Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development and the Developmental Individual Relationship (DIR) model, to guide our therapeutic work. This allows us to address the unique emotional, social, and psychological challenges faced at each stage of life, from early childhood through adulthood.
We specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. Our focus is on creating a safe, inclusive environment where clients from all backgrounds—including those from neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and immigrant communities—can explore their authentic selves and find healing.
As an online-only practice for Indiana residents, we make therapy accessible no matter where you are in the state, offering flexibility and convenience for those seeking support. Our professionals bring expertise in art therapy, trauma-informed care, and holistic mental health practices, combining creativity and compassion to help clients reconnect with themselves, process difficult emotions, and build resilience.

Our Approach
At Art of the Soul, we take a lifespan developmental approach to therapy, helping clients address the unique emotional and psychological challenges they face at different stages of life. Whether you are a young adult navigating identity development, a parent managing the complexities of family life, or an older adult processing life transitions, we provide individualized support based on where you are in your developmental journey.
We are particularly guided by the Developmental Individual Relationship (DIR) model, which helps us understand and address emotional and relational needs in a holistic way. Our therapeutic approach blends art therapy, body-centered practices, mindfulness breathing, and talk therapy to create a supportive space for healing and growth.
