Presentation Description
Every mental health professional usually has some experiences both personal and professional that inspires them to work in trauma and the healing of it. We do our best to bring our knowledge, experience, and passion to help others in the work. But Covid has made it increasing hard to use that same compassionate wisdom on own self care or honor the many roles we play in our daily lives. We are the coach, counselor, child, adult, friend, office manager, taxi driver, or partner to many people that we love at home or in our care during office hours. This workshop is to share an overview of art therapy versus art in therapy with a primary focus on self. The participant will gain experiential knowledge about spending time with themselves using a compassionate reverence for the many roles we play to others and ourselves. The presentation is aimed at mental health professionals that could use a little TLC (tender loving compassion) on the self. Free art supplies will be shared at the end of the presentation.
You don't need to bring anything - all will provided. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to have some fun in a small community setting.

About the Presenters
Ursula is a Board-Certified Art Therapist and owner of the group practice Bay Area Art Therapy which has been in service for 6 yrs and has 6 offices in Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, and San Mateo. She uses a combination of person-centered approach with narrative interventions and existential philosophy. Some people that like food are called foodies, Ursula loves words and is a self-titled Wordie! However, before the words come is usually the art or symbol. My favorite quote is by Edith Wharton. "There are two ways of spreading the light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." A caring attuned therapist can help provide the environment that allows emotions, feelings, and thoughts to externalize and that visual expression or creation becomes the mirror.
Kassidy is a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and LMFT. Kassidy collaborates with her clients to create a roadmap to their goals while exploring what's not working in their life, and celebrate their strengths! Art therapy allows her to use a relational and strengths-based approach with culturally humble interventions to improve emotional regulation, social skills, coping mechanisms, and self-efficacy. She is passionate about the transformational power of art as an agent of growth and change.
