The Artist is inherent
within you™




Welcome

Art_Therapy_at_the_Water_Front

 

Poppy has facilitated Art Therapy sessions with individual clients and group workshops in multiple states throughout the country.

Combining the fundamentals of Art Therapy principles, approaches, and professional facilitation with strong interpersonal skills, Poppy has guided thousands of clients to recognize, access, and trust their own inherent, creative process.

Poppy has utilized Art Therapy to work with children/students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, and behavioral issues.  With the Art Therapy facilitation that is personally adapted for each student, those students have experienced more academic success because of their art making.

 

 

With adults, Poppy has witnessed countless successes with people who were prone to depression, everyday stress, and other mental health issues. Through their use of art making and art therapy facilitation, her clients were able to extract meaningful insights which were revealed through their images.  For most, more traditional forms of therapy, such as verbal therapy, have not been as effective.

Art Therapy is for all who seek personal wellness, life enhancement, and a sense of play.  If you have never painted, sculpted, nor drawn, or feel limited by a lack of technical skills, then you are an ideal recipient for an Art Therapy workshop or session!

 

One of the most important tenets of my classes and workshops is for the suspension of all judgment. That is why my mantra states: “The artist is inherent in each one of us.”

Poppy has a private practice in Sarasota, FL, where she facilitates, teaches, and consults with clients aged 5 - 92.  Please contact us if you or your business would like to schedule an appointment or workshop.
