At 612 Allerton Avenue Creative Arts Therapy PLLC, we believe that creativity has the power to heal, connect, and transform lives. Our organization is dedicated to promoting emotional, psychological, and social well-being through the use of artistic expression. We provide creative arts therapy services that integrate visual arts, music, movement, drama, and other creative modalities to help individuals navigate their inner world, build resilience, and discover new pathways toward healing and self-understanding.

We were founded on the belief that art speaks where words end. Every brushstroke, rhythm, or movement carries meaning — a story that may be difficult to tell through traditional forms of therapy. By combining the principles of psychotherapy with creative practices, we create safe and nurturing spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to express themselves freely, process complex emotions, and foster personal growth.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet profound: to make therapeutic art experiences accessible to everyone who seeks emotional healing and personal empowerment through creativity.
We aim to bridge the gap between art and therapy by offering programs that recognize the deep connection between creativity and mental health. Through our professional creative arts therapists, we help individuals and communities unlock their potential, build emotional awareness, and develop coping skills through the transformative power of art.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every person — regardless of age, gender, culture, or background — can explore creativity as a means of healing and growth. Whether it’s painting, dancing, playing music, or engaging in mindful movement, our approach honors each person’s unique voice and artistic expression.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a beacon of hope and creativity, inspiring a world where art and emotional well-being go hand in hand.
We envision communities where creative expression is not seen as a luxury, but as an essential part of human health and connection. Through partnerships with schools, healthcare organizations, community centers, and other nonprofits, we aspire to extend the reach of creative arts therapy — helping more individuals discover that art is not just an activity, but a lifeline.

Our vision is rooted in the idea that healing is a creative process. We strive to normalize the conversation around mental health by showing that creative expression can be a powerful tool for recovery, empowerment, and connection. By nurturing creativity, we help people rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and rediscover joy in everyday life.

Our Values

At 612 Allerton Avenue Creative Arts Therapy PLLC, our work is guided by a set of deeply held values that shape every interaction, program, and partnership:

1. Creativity as Healing

We believe creativity is an essential human need. Through art-making, people can explore their emotions, release tension, and make sense of their experiences. Creativity empowers individuals to transform pain into beauty and uncertainty into understanding.

2. Compassion and Respect

We approach every individual with empathy and respect. We honor the personal stories and cultural backgrounds that shape each client’s experience. Our therapists provide compassionate care that meets people where they are, without judgment or bias.

3. Accessibility and Inclusion

Healing through art should be available to all. We are dedicated to making creative arts therapy accessible across socioeconomic, cultural, and physical boundaries. We design programs that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, ensuring that every participant feels safe, seen, and supported.

4. Collaboration and Community

We recognize the power of connection. Our organization collaborates with artists, educators, clinicians, and community leaders to promote collective healing. By fostering partnerships and building creative networks, we strengthen the fabric of our communities and encourage shared growth through the arts.

5. Integrity and Professional Excellence

As a licensed creative arts therapy organization, we uphold the highest ethical and professional standards. Our team is composed of credentialed therapists and trained artists who continually expand their expertise to provide quality care rooted in evidence-based practice and genuine human connection.

6. Empowerment Through Expression

Art gives voice to the unspoken. We help individuals reclaim their sense of agency by expressing thoughts and emotions in new and empowering ways. Through creative exploration, people learn to trust their instincts, embrace their authenticity, and celebrate their journey toward wellness.

Our Story

The journey of 612 Allerton Avenue Creative Arts Therapy PLLC began with a vision — a vision to bring the healing power of art into the heart of therapeutic practice. Our founders, inspired by their own experiences in creative and mental health fields, recognized that many people struggle to articulate their emotions through words alone. They saw how art could bridge that gap, helping individuals communicate, heal, and connect in deeper ways.

From small community art workshops to structured therapy programs, our organization has grown into a supportive space for self-expression and transformation. Each day, we witness art’s remarkable ability to break barriers, spark conversations, and restore hope.

We proudly serve individuals, families, and groups seeking new ways to heal and connect. Whether working with children discovering their creative voice, adults managing stress or trauma, or seniors reconnecting with forgotten passions, we tailor our programs to each person’s unique journey.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, our commitment remains steadfast — to expand access to creative arts therapy and to promote wellness through artistic exploration. We aim to bring creative therapy into more schools, hospitals, and community organizations, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the life-changing benefits of creative expression.

At 612 Allerton Avenue Creative Arts Therapy PLLC, we are not just helping people make art — we are helping them make meaning, make peace, and make change.
