Creative Counseling combines creativity with Play Therapy, Art Counseling, Sand Tray Therapy, Senses Therapy, Music Therapy, Visual Imagery, Therapy Games, Bibliotherapy, and Movement Therapy.

Creative Counseling offers more to clients than the traditional therapies do.

The Creative Counseling approach offers a creative way of doing therapy for clients in order to promote emotional well being and healing.

Using this approach with clients allows the following:

• A stronger therapist/client relationship develops
• Creative new ways of being are developed within the psyche
• Identify the client's creative strengths
• Removes many mental blocks the client has
• The client becomes more self-aware
• The client learns new creative ways towards a healthier life
• Promotes a deeper healing and growth in therapy
• The unconscious mind becomes more conscious to the client
• People of all ages can benefit from using creativity in therapy

Creative Counseling offers more than one or two therapeutic approaches. It is a conglomeration of many therapy styles and schools of therapeutic thought.

It is an eclectic way of doing therapy that promotes healing on a deeper level for the client.

The Creative Counseling allows the therapist to have greater access to tools and techniques to promote this deeper level of healing. When a therapist uses Creative Counseling they rarely get "stuck" as a therapist.

Creativity is the guide for the therapist and the client. Creative Counseling is much more than just "talk therapy".

Creative Counseling offers therapist more tools to use in their counseling sessions with clients. This website contains many basic tools using Creative Counseling.

This type of therapy is geared for the beginning therapist and the advanced more seasoned therapist who is looking for more to offer to their clients.
