In the past 17 years, my role as a therapist in Los Angeles has deeply intertwined with my personal journey through the creative arts, leading me to specialize in counseling and therapy for creatives. This dual focus is a reflection not just of my geographical setting but of a profound connection to the creative community. This unique convergence of professional expertise and artistic insight allows me to empathize deeply with the nuanced inner lives of artists and the distinctive challenges they encounter.

> Embracing Your Creative Flow through Counseling

Understanding and accessing one’s “creative flow” is a cornerstone of my approach. Creativity is not just an act, but a way of being, often requiring artists to delve deep into their experiences — sometimes touching upon trauma — to bring their art to life. The solitary nature of this journey can be daunting, laden with self-doubt, anxiety, and the ever-looming specter of rejection. In Los Angeles, where dreams are pursued relentlessly, learning to navigate these waters is crucial for any creative.

> Your Creative Path: From Self-Doubt to Self-Discovery

As a musician, actor, writer, painter, or sculptor, you’re invited to explore your creativity, voice, and vision under my guidance. Your inherent sensitivity, the very source of your creative energy, can also erect barriers such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviors. My comprehensive approach to therapy for creatives is designed to refine and harness this sensitivity, addressing the obstacles to emotional healing and unlocking your creative potential.

I am privileged to offer therapy to creatives. The experience and training of Spoken associate therapists also complement the endeavors of creative folks — benefiting all who seek a deeper understanding and connection with their inner self. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey to uncover and nurture the creativity within you, ensuring a balanced and fulfilling creative life.   ~ ELIZABETH
