Therapy for artists is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the unique needs and challenges of creative individuals. It provides a safe and supportive space for artists to explore personal and creative issues, such as creative blocks, self-doubt, anxiety, and depression. In therapy, artists may work with a trained mental health professional to gain greater insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as develop coping strategies for managing mental health issues and enhancing creative output. Therapy for artists can also help individuals build stronger relationships, cultivate personal growth, and promote overall well-being. By providing tools and support for navigating the unique challenges of the creative process, therapy can help artists find greater fulfillment and meaning in their work and lives

1. Creative block: A therapist can help an artist identify the underlying reasons for their creative block and develop strategies to overcome it.


2. Self-doubt and low self-esteem: Many artists struggle with feelings of self-doubt and low self-esteem, which can impact their ability to create and share their work. Therapy can help an artist build confidence and self-acceptance.


3. Anxiety and depression: These mental health issues can be especially prevalent in the artistic community. Therapy can provide coping skills and support to manage these conditions.


4. Trauma: Artists may have experienced trauma, which can have a significant impact on their creative output. Therapy can help an artist process and heal from traumatic experiences.


5. Relationship issues: Artists may struggle with interpersonal relationships, including those with collaborators, mentors, or romantic partners. Therapy can help an artist develop healthy communication and relationship skills.

How inspired are you by Creative People? By what they dream, what they make, what becomes, from their minds, that was nothing before? How exceptionally audacious is it to take nothing, and imagine, plan and develop it into something completely new that wasn’t? This, to me, is quintessential definition of inspiration and awe. It defines our past, and takes us to our future. It is the most necessary component of life, in so many ways! 

And when I look at you, Creative Person, don’t forget that you are who I mean. That history recognizes only through zeitgeist, one name or two, here or there, but that is not the definition of creative. That is the definition of where society gets hung-up. 

I am inspired, Creative Person, by you, and everything you are. Everything that moves you, the way you see your world, the way you interact with others, and your environment.
I am also devastated. Devastated that so many of you, Creative Person, don’t know who you are! Don’t know that you are creative. Don’t know your creative strengths. Don’t believe that your Creative Personality is powerful, or good, or magnificent. That you are trying to hide, change, or “fit in,” smothering your amazing ideas, forward thinking, and dreaming. 

I demand that there be a place where you can go, to understand what it means to be who you are. To be told the truth, about your Creative Personality. To finally hear that you have Creative strengths, and have this backed by research and science. To be challenged to do something about it and change your lives. 
I couldn’t find this place, but I wasn’t surprised, and I wasn’t daunted, because I, too, am creative. I created it for you. ​

One of my own biggest life- changing moments was my initial discoveries in research and psychology of Creative People. Suddenly I understood that I belonged somewhere, that I wasn’t weird, that there was a precedent for the way I experienced the world. The more I learned, the more I felt myself give myself permission- even feel empowered- to live life according to my own rules and sensibilities. The results? The world that had felt so hostile, rejecting, unfriendly and dark, began to feel so full of opportunity, vibrant, welcoming and alive. 

The importance, I have discovered, over and over again, of understanding myself as a Creative Person, the value and worth this gives me, the strengths that comes with it, and the other people around me that share these values and ways of seeing things- is bottomless. Life- changing. 

I have come to understand and value my work as a counselor and a coach in Creativity, and truly fall in love with my work. I have also come to realize the deeply personal journey of discovering, creating and understanding oneself as a Creative Person. It felt imperative to me to create, as much as possible, the information, atmosphere and support to allow this journey for as many Creative People that can benefit. 

This is the story behind the Creativity Courses! With Courses from 100 levels to 200 levels, I offer you a foundation of understanding in Creativity, from research in psychology, education, and more about the history of creativity, creativity theory, and its applications to you and your life. The information is laid bare for your evaluation, assessment and application to your own life. 

Working with Creative People, also emphasized enormously through the pandemic, I have understood the value of a creative community. Creative Communities help us understand ourselves as Creative People, gain support for the specifics that are our creative lives, and our creative projects. Creative Community can be hard to find and maintain, because of these same variables! 

I say often that Creativity is about changing lives. Creative People discovering their strengths, each other, healthy lifestyles that serve them, and that they aren’t alone, is life changing. The Creativity Courses and the Creativity Studio exist online an a virtual learning space that is interactive, to support locations, lifestyles and schedules all over the world. This is an exciting and unprecedented opportunity for all of us.

Life moves fast- and time for ourselves is probably the hardest time to find. Somewhere, we also know, time for ourselves is the most important time to have. That means life changes, and setting and reaching goals is a frustrating and pretty unmanageable.
The problem of time, and other problems, like money and energy are the focus of a new branch of services at Creatively, called the Creativity Courses. 

Phase One of the Creativity Courses contains five main lessons, designed to help you understand yourself as a Creative Person, how to take care of yourself in this new space, connect to your Creative Community, and prepare yourself to commit to and do the work to live a healthy life as a Creative Person. In these lessons you will learn about Creativity Research, Psychology and Education to support a change in perspective and lifestyle. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to see yourself through the lens of your Creative Personality, and all the doors this opens for you in your life!

There is a moment. In fact there are many- in a Creative Person’s life- when you are between activities. You have something looming before you that you need to do. Sometimes it is big- a presentation, a new job, a performance. Sometimes, it is more routine- getting out of the car, up out of bed, out of a chair.
Consequently, a similar principle applies in each situation: resistant and the changing of stasis. Living things, human beings specifically, and Creative People especially, are resistant to changes in stasis. Your body and mind are in a “place,” especially a lower energy place, they naturally resist changing to a new “place,” especially a higher energy place. 

The concepts of resistance, change and stasis in Creative People are related to a previous post about Creative People and their sensory perception. Essentially, Creative People, due to powerful senses and emotions, also have powerful and the levels of involvement in both their internal and external worlds. This impacts the way that you as a Creative Person respond stimuli.
Some Creative People may relate this to things like diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD in their past, and/or may be aware of other sensory diagnoses. While this may or may not apply to every Creative Person, what is important here is powerful sensory sensitivity and perception is related to your personality as a highly Creative Person. 

As highly Creative People, we know that our emotions are powerful. We know that our sensory perception is powerful. Overall, you are likely to be especially sensitive to experiences as a creative human being. This means if you have reached a moment of of homeostasis, such as in allostasis, your body is at rest and it can be especially difficult to disrupt that to ask your body to go someplace cold, hungry or to push yourself into activity requiring more energy or work. 

Too often, Creative People have been given the message that their powerful feelings and ways of living are problematic and that they should change. My regular message to Creative People is instead to recognize living loudly is part of who you are, and, to embrace and understand these features rather than wasting energy fighting them.
