Barbara van der Vossen

LCPAT, LCPC, ATR-BC

Barbara offers person-centered, trauma-informed art therapy and traditional talk therapy to individuals and families. At the core of change lies the courage to imagine different possibilities, outcomes, and pathways forward. With empathy, compassion, and a straight-forward approach, Barbara guides people through the healing capacity of their own creative process, helping them to better understand their experiences and find coping skills for an improved quality of life.

Creative self-expression centers people in their own story, but from a different vantage point that can yield new insights. Art makes the invisible visible and it communicates when words are insufficient, uncomfortable, or unsafe. Barbara’s multi-faceted experience lends her an adaptive approach in supporting people’s individual goals in a supportive, non-judgmental manner. Sometimes that involves art-making, sometimes that involves conversation, and often a combination of the two.
