About Therapy
That constant “companion” of yours…
I’m talking about anxiety, which is probably why you’re here.
It keeps you alone, trapped in a never-ending game of ruminating on the past and worrying about the future.
Meanwhile, everyone else is happy and enjoying their life.
Anxiety has a way of affecting EVERYTHING.
Your relationships suffer. When you worry so much about what they think of you and whether you’re living up to their expectations, it’s hard to relax and just be yourself around them. Instead, you’re always second-guessing or judging yourself… and wondering if they’re judging you. In time, you feel less connected to your friends, family, and partner.
You’ve probably asked yourself at least once, “Where did I go? How did it get like this? Who am I?”
The anxiety doesn’t stop… ever – not even when you go to bed. You have trouble falling asleep. When you finally drift off, you’re plagued by vivid or bizarre dreams. That’s hardly a recipe for restful sleep! It’s no wonder you’re irritable and snappy with your loved ones.
Lonely and overwhelmed, you “show up” less and less for your own life. You avoid outings and conflict. You withhold your opinions.
It doesn’t take long before you’re living the life others want for you instead of the one you desire.
But you do what you gotta do to get by.
It’s like you’re a passenger in your own life! So, you…
… have that glass of wine after a long day…
… scroll on social media to see what others are doing…
… try app after app and one self-help book after another…
But they all fall flat.
Life has lost its spark. Now what?
Enough is enough!
You can’t ignore the fact that you need and deserve more!
You no longer have to be silent and carry the expectations of others. You matter. Your authentic self matters!
Now, I know that venturing beyond the norms can be daunting…
And you’re probably going to have naysayers and critics…
But life can be more than this. It’s time!
It’s time to let your inner light pave the way!
Through creativity, let’s explore your emotions, gain insight into your experiences, and develop new coping strategies. We can explore the pivotal people and events that mean the most to you.
Art is an especially effective way for those who have difficulty articulating their feelings to express themselves. The artwork you will create can serve as a visual representation of your progress and can help you track your growth.
This is a safe place where you’ll be supported and accepted. Every part of you is welcomed and honored here.
Together, we will create art, talk, laugh, emote, cry, and sit with discomfort…
And through it all, you will learn to thrive!
Hi, I’m Tamica!
Art has always been a passion of mine.
I’ve always loved art for its healing and expressive powers.
Art has helped me appreciate so many aspects of myself and taught me the meaning of perseverance.
Even in my downtime, you’ll always find me creating art and exploring.
Some of my education and experience…
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, New York license #090606-01), working with adults at various points in their lives and integrating art whenever possible.
My undergraduate and graduate training is in clinical art therapy, and I’ve been a clinical supervisor for pre-licensure and licensed mental health professionals.
You don’t have to go it alone anymore.
Here, you can put it all down: your anger, isolation, worry, suffering, and discomfort.
I’ll be there for you – through all of it.
Let’s explore the roads you’ve been on and the ones you dream of!
Your authentic self awaits. Call today, and let’s schedule your free consultation.
