What is Art Therapy?
Creative Arts Therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach that helps individuals of all ages create meaning and achieve insight, find relief from emotional stress, resolve conflicts, and develop an increased sense of well-being through the creative process.
​
What if I’m not “good” at art?
There is a common misconception that you have to be “good” at art to participate in Art Therapy. This is simply not true! There is no “right” or “wrong” way to create. Art Therapy is for people of all ages and skill levels. We focus on how the art makes you feel, rather than the end result.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing that allows the body to relax and ease tension. It reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch and the transfer of universal energy.
​
What is Curanderismo?
Curanderismo is the art of shamanic healing from Ancient Mesoamerica. This Mayan folk medicine is very powerful and has been passed down by generations of healers. Curanderismo "limpias" or shamanic cleanses are a cleansing of our bodies, fields, and essence. They strengthen the body’s energetic fields and remove energies that are not of love and light.
​
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. A licensed KAP provider takes on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes. Ketamine is a legal, safe, and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Please contact us to discuss eligibility and next steps.
