Elaine Shor

Elaine Shor is a licensed professional counselor and board certified, registered art therapist who specializes in assisting individuals of all ages, including teens and adults, in navigating complex emotional issues. She understands that through art therapy, clients can effectively address significant concerns such as adjustment to divorce, overcoming trauma, enhancing self-esteem, managing anxiety, coping with loss, and increasing self-awareness. Elaine emphasizes that artistic ability is not a prerequisite; rather, any form of expression using art materials provides the opportunity for resolution of conflicts. As an art therapist, she skillfully guides clients from non-verbal expression through creative processes to verbal communication. Elaine has witnessed profound healing unfold through artistic engagement, with many clients achieving remarkable conflict resolution and self-awareness through the integration of art-making and verbal therapy. Her approach is particularly beneficial for children and those who may struggle to articulate their feelings, as the use of art materials often feels less confrontational than traditional talk therapy alone, making the journey to insight and healing more accessible.
