Petra Artz

Welcome! I am a dedicated art therapist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults in both clinical and community spaces. I believe in the power of humor in therapy and strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges with creativity and insight. While grounded in art therapy my practice is complemented by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Strengths-Based Therapy techniques.

As an art therapist, I blend the expressive power of creativity with traditional talk therapy, incorporating strengths based and positive psychology approaches. I approach therapy with a direct and compassionate style, often using humor to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. I strive to create a space where clients feel empowered to confront challenges, cultivate self-awareness, and embark on a journey of personal growth.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I understand that therapy is not one size fits all, which is why I emphasize creating a customized treatment plan that aligns with your preferences and strengths. Through art therapy, we can tap into your innate creativity as a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. In addition to art therapy techniques, I incorporate elements of talk therapy to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe space.
