Maya Brinton
Art Therapy and Counseling Intern
Are you looking for space to freely explore yourself, your relationships to others, and your place in the world? A space where all parts of yourself are not only welcome, but deeply valued?
It is important to me that you feel safe, heard, and honored during our time together. Your voice and agency are essential to the work we will do, and the therapeutic relationship we can build. I believe when we are able to connect deeply to each other, our communities, and the natural and physical world around us, our ability to heal flourishes.
This same approach is vital in family therapy, as you learn to build more understanding, patient and resilient relationships with your loved ones. I strive to create a space where the entire family can be valued as individuals as well as working together to be more peaceful, evolved, and communicative as a whole. This approach involves communal art making which can be adapted to the developmental needs of all family members. The art made in session can serve as a new way for the family to communicate with each other, ensuring that all voices are heard and new insights reached together.
While I work with all ages, I have a special passion for using art therapy with neurodiverse children and their families who may struggle in spaces designed for neurotypical children, such as school or traditional talk therapy. I utilize many years of experience working with children of all ages in order to meet them on their level, and find creative ways to connect deeply to their inner worlds through child-led play and art making.
If you are looking for a therapist to help guide you to a deeper understanding of how you relate to the world around you, and your relationships with yourself and your loved ones, please consider reaching out to me.
