When self-awareness meets stubborn anxiety and body tension
You understand your patterns, but logic alone isn’t breaking you free. That’s because while your mind processes, your body holds onto unresolved experiences. These stored emotions often show up as physical discomfort, anxiety, or self-sabotaging behaviors.
Instead of suppressing these feelings, we’ll work together to listen to what they’re trying to tell you. Through a holistic mind-body approach, we help you release stored tension and emotional blocks, process root causes with compassion, and build practical tools for managing stress.
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we guide you from understanding to true healing, so you can finally live the life you envision with clarity and confidence.
Are you struggling with...
- Fear of abandonment and rejection, and needing to compromise your needs to be loved?
- Intense anxiety about the future or social situations and a sense of disconnection and insignificance?
- Overwhelm, stress, and burnout from a toxic work environment that has you feeling drained?
- A sense of inadequacy, like you're pretending to have it together while battling imposter syndrome?
- Unexplained chronic pain, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, IBS, tight jaws, and/or poor quality of sleep?
- Feelings of sadness and shame, where you feel like you're merely surviving each day?
We specialize in EMDR and Creative Arts Therapy, combining IFS and somatic practices to help you move through the emotional and physical pain you are experiencing.

about Us
Why Work With Integrative Creative Therapy
Our minds are powerful, but our bodies hold the wisdom and unresolved past. It takes a holistic approach to truly heal and change.
At Integrative Creative Therapy, we go beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging you cognitively, somatically, emotionally, and creatively. Our role isn’t to fix you, but to help you unburden past pain, expand your emotional capacity, and connect to your healthy core (the Self-Energy) for a more authentic life.
We believe creative expression is the portal to your inner world. Through music, art, movement, and other creative modalities, we help you explore and heal in ways that can be both liberating and enlightening. This approach is particularly powerful for teens, children, and individuals who find traditional therapy limiting, as it bypasses the constraints of verbal communication to access deep healing.
With over 20 years of combined experience, we provide trauma and neurodivergence-informed care using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, IFS, somatic work, and Creative Arts Therapy. Our practice is built on the understanding that everyone has the innate ability to heal when they feel safe, seen, and accepted.
When you’re ready to make meaningful change, we’re here to help you move forward with more vitality, flow, and joy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your fees?

*We do offer limited spots for sliding scales.
Therapy sessions for children are $175/45 min. *The fee for home visits might vary depending on the distance the therapist has to travel.
Do you accept insurance?
Like most specialists, we do not work with insurance companies to protect your privacy and ensure the highest quality of service. Insurance companies often impose limitations on the number of sessions, dictate treatment methods, and require specific diagnoses, which can hinder our ability to provide individualized care. Additionally, we want to maintain confidentiality and minimize potential stigma, as insurance claims can sometimes require sharing sensitive information. By working outside the insurance system, we can offer flexible treatment options tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring a more supportive and focused therapeutic experience. We also encourage clients to explore out-of-network reimbursement options, providing them with the necessary documentation to help facilitate that process.
Many clients pay 20-60% of the rate with OON reimbursement.
When contacting your provider, be sure to ask the following questions:
- Do you recognize LCAT license (Licensed Creative Arts Therapist)?
We partner with Thrizer to help you utilize your out-of-network benefit and get reimbursed quicker. Just provide a photo of your coverage and submit the claims for you.
What is your cancellation policy?
We strive to provide exceptional care while respecting the time of both our clients and therapists. If you would like to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide 48 hours notice. You can contact your therapist directly or call us. Appointments that are canceled with less than 48 hours notice will be subject to the full session fee. We understand that life can throw curveballs, and we’re willing to review individual cases where the fee might be waived.
