Ella Dufrene, an Art Therapist with an MPS and ATR, understands that many individuals find themselves in a cycle of resistance, often living in reaction mode rather than taking a proactive approach. This pattern can lead to feelings of exhaustion and unfulfillment. Through self-expression, Ella promotes the release of emotional tension, helping clients to become less reactive and more responsive in their lives. By allowing difficult emotions to surface through creative mediums, individuals can gain insight into the root of their challenges, creating space for transformative change. Her approach to therapy encompasses a rich blend of expressive arts, including visual arts, music, dance/movement, and writing, along with mindfulness, meditation, and traditional talk therapy. Whether clients choose to paint, draw, sculpt, or collage, Ella provides guidance, ensuring that there is no right or wrong way to express oneself. She offers both individual and group art therapy services, utilizing a holistic approach to wellness paired with a 'person first' philosophy. Ella is deeply passionate about the healing effects of nature, art, and movement, and she invites those curious about her unique therapeutic methods to explore this transformative journey.
