Chaya Bryski

MA, LCAT ATR-BC

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Art Therapy & Counseling and am a Licensed Board-Certified Art Therapist. With a experience across hospitals, clinics, schools, and private practice, I bring a wealth of expertise to my therapeutic work. This diverse background equips me to provide compassionate, effective support, helping you navigate your journey to well-being with confidence and creativity.

I focus on helping individuals with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. Using a psychodynamic approach, we explore how past experiences influence current relationships and behaviors. However, we don’t stay stuck in the past. With these insights, we work together to find practical ways to improve your daily functioning and overall well-being.

Welcome to the World of Art Therapy

Art therapy harnesses the power of creativity as a medium of expression and exploration, providing a unique way to access your inner world. By creating a space for play and discovery, we open the door to understanding your deepest thoughts and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

Why Art Therapy?

Art is a profound form of communication, often revealing unconscious beliefs and emotions that are difficult to express verbally. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or simply seeking deeper self-exploration, art therapy offers a powerful path to healing. Through the creative process, art becomes a therapeutic outlet for non-judgmental self-expression.

How We Use Art Therapy in Sessions

In our sessions, we’ll engage in creative activities like drawing, painting, sculpting - not to create a masterpiece but to explore what your art communicates about your inner thoughts, beliefs, and patterns. By analyzing themes, symbols, and colors, we gain valuable insights into underlying emotions and conflicts, guiding therapeutic interventions and deepening your self-understanding.

Together, we will:

  • Create a safe space: Build a nurturing environment for free, non-judgmental self-expression.

  • Explore your inner world: Use art to gain insights into your unconscious mind, uncovering hidden thoughts and emotions.

  • Analyze and understand: Discuss the meanings behind your creations and how they reflect your inner world.

  • Develop coping skills: Build lasting strategies to manage life’s challenges.

  • Enjoy the process: Experience the joy and relaxation of creating art as part of your healing journey.

The Therapeutic Power of Art

Art therapy is a journey of self-discovery, tapping into the creative parts of the brain to express complex emotions that words often cannot. This process fosters personal growth, enhances self-awareness, and provides deeper insight into your psychological state.
