Therapy for Creatives

All your life, you’ve been driven to create.

Whether you’re a professional, a student, or someone who just enjoys creating, expressing yourself artistically is as vital to your survival as breathing or eating.

Lately, however, worries, fears, or lack of motivation are getting in the way of being your true self. If someone hooked a Bluetooth speaker up to your inner voice, they might hear:

I’m never going to be good enough.”

“People are going to find out I’m a fraud.”

“I’m going to blow that audition tomorrow.”

“I don’t feel like working on that project; maybe I’ll be in the mood tomorrow.”

It hasn’t always been easy.

You’ve probably endured long hours of study and practice throughout your life. This may have kept you from socializing and playtime as a kid.

You’ve had to deal with a lot of rejection and criticism.

You might have been told you’re not skinny enough, not tall enough, not good-looking enough…

You’ve learned to be resilient, dedicated, and determined, but…

You’re starting to notice some cracks in your confidence.

You are constantly comparing yourself to others and starting to doubt your abilities.

For some reason, you just can’t get started on that very important project.

That creative block seems impossible to move.

There’s only one thing you can be certain about…

And that’s UNCERTAINTY.

Where’s the next job coming from?

Will I nail that audition?

Can I trust my agent?

What if the reviews of my show are horrible?

What if nobody shows up at the gig?

All that worrying affects other areas of your life.

You get invited to a party, but you dread the thought of going. You’ve got this nagging thought that you should be working on that project instead.

So, you stay home…

But you end up doom-scrolling all night instead.

Why can’t you get moving already??

And all your efforts to “fix this”…

They’re not helping. You’ve tried to ignore the self-doubt and self-criticism, but the more you try to ignore those thoughts, the stronger they come back.

Maybe you’ve tried going out for a few drinks just to take your mind off things. But that doesn’t help. The next day, your worries are still there.

So, you resort to sheer will, forcing yourself to JUST DO IT. But the creative block is still there.

There’s got to be a better way.

There is: Therapy can help.

The main therapy I offer, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is the gold standard for treating anxiety and regaining control of your life.

You will learn to tame worried thoughts and tolerate the uncertainty that’s often a part of an artist’s life.

You will learn behavioral strategies to tackle procrastination and release creative blocks.

I will help you strengthen your resilience and manage rejection and criticism effectively.

Through our work, you’ll finally get back to the joy of artistic self-expression.

I truly understand the struggle.

I’ve been working at Ryan Chelsea Clinton in Hell’s Kitchen for the last seven years. Since we’re in the heart of the theater district, I’ve provided therapy to many performers and artists.

And I’ve been involved with the arts in one way or another for my entire life. I was born into a family of musicians. Somewhat rebellious, I chose to dance at the age of seven, attended a performing arts high school, and came to NYC to study. I’ve been a performer and teacher and later worked in the entertainment and broadcasting industry.

I know first-hand the struggle and sacrifice it takes to reach peak performance. I also know what it feels like when you reach that flow state. There’s nothing better!

Let’s give you the artistic breakthrough you’ve been waiting for!
