NOETIC ART THERAPY

Art Therapy is the application of the creative arts through a clinically-informed therapeutic framework. In many cases we work with individuals who are arriving to believe there is something more to life than only what appears at the surface, to move beyond the status quo. We resolve what has been holding us back from our potential. We work clinically from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, Gestalt and archetypal theoretical orientations. We may work with dreams, beliefs, visioning, “mindfulness” methods, and our higher intuitive consciousness to transcend and transform outdated and limiting scripts, beliefs, judgments and the behaviors that correlate with such psychological-cognitive-emotional-conditioned patterns—with the intention of living a life that is more fully aligned, balanced, integrated, and healthy at all levels.

Noetic Art Therapy utilizes clinically-proven theoretical approaches to art therapy. We acknowledge and accept diverse belief systems.

Through the process of art therapy, individuals and their families may work toward having greater experiences of joy, abundance, grace, and loving. This approach can be considered transpersonal and/or psycho-spiritual in nature. This corresponds to the meaning of the word, noetic—having to do with the mind and how we make meaning or decide. Whatever might be hindering or distressing one's life may be worked through toward greater understanding of oneself and the greater good. Then, one may move forward, constructively, taking those steps toward improvement and integrity.

Approaching ourselves through art therapy, we intend to understand our own personal experience from new perspectives and achieve new reference points. We acknowledge the unique paths we have walked, roads we have driven, people who we have affected, and those who have affected us. We become clearer through our process in Art Therapy of the essence of who and what we are, what our and others' beliefs, judgments, behaviors and actions have meant in our lives. From here we may decide to revise, clear, or resolve those outdated, no longer useful, beliefs, blockages, and judgments that we have been carrying, which have been keeping us from our peace. It is through this lens of viewing oneself and the world that clarity and new understandings occur. We are the conscious creators and facilitators of our perceived reality. Thoughts, feelings, behavior, self expression, and ultimately our experience of ourselves, others, and the world shifts toward equanimity.

Anyone is a candidate for art therapy regardless of skill.

Art therapy is about the process not the product.
