FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is art therapy, and how does it help with emotional healing?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression—such as drawing, painting, and sculpting—as a way to explore emotions, process trauma, and promote healing. It allows individuals to express feelings that may be difficult to articulate through words, offering a safe and nonverbal outlet for processing deep emotions.
At Art of the Soul, we use art therapy in combination with traditional talk therapy and mindfulness practices to help clients access and heal unresolved emotions. Whether you're dealing with trauma, grief, or anxiety, art therapy provides a therapeutic path to self-discovery and emotional well-being.
2. What makes Art of the Soul different from other mental health practices?
At Art of the Soul, we offer a unique blend of holistic mental health practices, including art therapy, body-centered work, and trauma-informed therapies. Our practice is guided by a lifespan developmental model and the Developmental Individual Relationship (DIR) model, which allows us to meet clients where they are developmentally, addressing their emotional and relational needs at different life stages. We are also deeply committed to supporting neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and immigrant clients, creating a space where everyone can feel seen, heard, and accepted as their authentic selves.
3. How does your practice support trauma survivors?
Our professionals have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, including complex PTSD and developmental trauma. We use evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR, and Brainspotting to help trauma survivors process their experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We work at a pace that feels safe for each client, incorporating art therapy and mindfulness to support the body and mind in healing.
4. Is Art of the Soul only available online?
Yes, Art of the Soul is an online-only practice, available exclusively to Indiana residents. We use secure video conferencing to conduct therapy sessions, ensuring a private and convenient experience for all of our clients.
5. Can I use insurance for counseling services?

6. How do I know if Art of the Soul is right for me?
