What Others Are Saying...

F.W. Age 10

I met F in the Pineridge hospital emergency room for a suicide assessment, as he had threatened suicide while at school. He began to see me weekly for Art Therapy, and was very aggressive, and oppositional defiant, with not much attention span. After a few sessions using the START UP! program, F made an “anger box” in which he would put any angry thoughts. F’s aggression and oppositional defiance lifted and he became the kindest, and sweetest little boy. His mother called to say thank you, and said what a huge shift he had made at home and at school!

D.D. Age 27

D had been severely sexually abused by a step father in early life, resulting in Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder). D came to me weekly for 8 months complaining of hearing voices and having 6 different personalities, or alters. D was able to draw and name all of these alters. As she reclaimed power and control of her own identity, D noticed a reduction in hearing the voices, and after 6 months of work together, D had said the voices had completely gone away and stayed away for 2 months, and that her alters were officially gone. D made an art piece to commemorate this and celebrated her recovery from Dissociative Identity Disorder!

P.B. Age 9

P had been seen by me weekly within his school on a Native American reservation for aggressive behaviors, and trauma. P had multiple traumas to heal from though one we focused on which was causing the most problems was a car accident in which he and his cousins were ejected from the car that his uncle was driving while intoxicated. P was suffering from intrusive images (flashbacks), and nightmares. P was distracted and had poor concentration at school. P did a few sessions of the Neurodevelopmental Art Therapy CATTI protocol for acute trauma and found complete symptom abatement after 3 sessions. P gave me a very tight and long hug, and said, “Thank you for helping me.”
