Their intensive certificate program was the best thing to happen to me when I was in the 'in-between.' It gave me the reboot I needed to hone my skills as
an Expressive Arts Practitioner, revitalized my commitment to the work and brought me up to date with current best practices. The instructors' professionalism, expertise, and well-balanced teaching style afforded me a safe container in which to explore profound play. As a result I grew as a person and as a facilitator." ~ Topaz Weis, REACE www.expressiveartsburlington.com EAFI 130: Scope of Expressive Arts

EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY
Telehealth and in-person
Tamara Teeter Knapp, MA, REACE, NCC, MHC Intern
Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal, holistic approach to counseling. It acknowledges the complexity of human experience by facilitating the client in exploring all aspects of the self, by inquiring through the imagination and the body about subjective experience, and expanding the play space to allow for new possibilities and shifts in consciousness that lead to desired
changes in one’s life. More
With warm regards and much gratitude,
