We all want to love, be loved, do something meaningful, and have purpose in our lives, yet all too often prior relationships and life experiences have left us with coping skills that are unhealthy, ineffective, or just downright baffling. Spotted Rabbit therapists are experienced in working with teens and adults who have a history of childhood emotional abuse and neglect, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. Those we work with often find that they have difficulty with relationships, struggle to relax, and want to feel more in control of their lives. Our therapeutic philosophy is built on long-term relief of your suffering. Through the processing of past experiences we help clients make sense of their current behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, enabling them to be more effective in their relationships with others and lead more meaningful lives. Unfortunately, we cannot make the difficult emotions go away, but by using art therapy approaches and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) we can develop effective strategies to lessen the intensity and frequency of these experiences while increasing satisfaction in other areas of your life. As therapists we are committed to a strength-based, values-focused approach and believe strongly that developing meaning and purpose in your life is a necessity for overall well-being.
