I'm a board-certified art therapist from NYC. I help people use art as therapy to develop self-care strategies and cope with Inner Critics.
Born in Tokyo and lived in NYC, I got my MA degree in art therapy from NYU and worked in NYC hospitals for 17 years with people with mental illnesses. I have a certification in psychoanalytic psychotherapist from Object Relations Institute. In 2017, I moved to Berlin with my family; I'm a mom of two children.
In online art therapy, you can:
1. draw quietly, (with music on),
2. talk to me while you work,
3. talk first and show me later what you worked on.
When you don't know what to make that day, that's OK. I have some artistic prompts like, "Draw a door and what you see inside." Use whatever you have at home. As per request, I'll be happy to send you an Art Kit with basic art supplies.
I offer free 15 minutes chat to see if this is right for you and ask me more about art therapy. Email me: Megu@yourartiswonderful.com. And write, "15 min Chat," on the subject line.
