You have a creative impulse within you. You don’t just see the world as it is, but how it could be.
Creatives face unique challenges in our increasingly fast-paced and disconnected world. People who are often highly intelligent and sensitive by nature can become overwhelmed or may feel alienated in a culture that seems to value style over substance, or a quick-fix instead of a deep-dive into the nuances of the human condition.
Some struggles that artists frequently face are:
- Creative blocks
- Work/life balance
- Anxiety and depression
- Developing appropriate personal and professional boundaries
- Frustration with creating art in a corporate world
- Self-doubt and “Imposter Syndrome”
- Using others’ success to measure your own
- Time mismanagement and procrastination
- Financial struggles
We can work to help you find strength, balance, and support as you navigate your creative path. Therapy may help you:
- Reframe old narratives and habit patterns that no longer serve you
- Learn tools for stress and anxiety management
- Balance and strengthen your nervous system
- Develop greater self-confidence and self-esteem
- Assert yourself and set stronger boundaries
- Develop a self-care plan
- Develop and refine your artistic vision
- Increase self-awareness
- Balance your personal and professional time
- Set specific, measurable, and focused goals
- Release frustration, anger, and other “stuck” emotions
