Experience a nurturing therapy group where watercolor becomes your bridge to deeper family connection and emotional understanding.

Details at a Glance:

• Small, intimate setting (only three parent-child pairs)

• For children ages 3-6 years

• Every Wednesday in July (starting 7/9) from 10 am-11:30 am

• Located in the Flood Building (transit-accessible and ADA accessible)

• $300 for the whole series

• Superbills provided for insurance. You give this “receipt” to your insurance company, and you will bring down your deductible or get some money back (check with your insurance company before you pay).

What to Expect:

Each session begins with a mindfulness circle and themed exploration (belonging, creativity, and self-esteem) before parent-child pairs learn accessible watercolor techniques. You'll engage in guided creative prompts that invite authentic expression of feelings and family experiences.

The experience is enriched each week, adding markers, glue, and music! You are advised not to wear your favorite white shirt, but we should make minimal messes. We balance structure with creative freedom, inviting you to maintain a daily art journal for one month. I hope you will find greater ease in daily interactions following this practice. I will send you the link to buy the materials at home before the class starts. You will have all you need in the therapy office for the group.

Why Join Us:

When parents and children create side-by-side, art becomes both a mirror and a window, reflecting personal experiences while offering fresh perspectives on family dynamics. Watercolor provides a gentle way to develop visual communication tools for discussing complex emotions.

LGBTQIA+ families are especially welcome! Have multiple children? Ask about our August group. More groups for all ages are coming soon. Please email directly if you have a specific request.

Intake sessions are available starting in May. Space is limited—reach out today! Intake sessions are 30 minutes. There is no charge for the intake.

Warmly,
