Milissa Finkel

Milissa Finkel is an accomplished Art Therapist holding both an MS and an MA, along with credentials as an ATR-BC and LCAT. She works with a diverse age range, including toddlers, children, adolescents, and elders, addressing common concerns such as stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. Recognizing the myriad stress factors that can lead to sadness, anxiety, anger, or confusion in children—like illness, loss, or family changes—Milissa uses art psychotherapy as an innovative approach to help young clients articulate their feelings. Children naturally enjoy creating art, telling stories, and expressing their emotions, which provides a pathway to explore their inner experiences. In her sessions, Milissa offers a variety of art mediums—drawing, painting, sculpting, and more—to facilitate non-verbal communication and insight. By blending creative expression with verbal discourse, she guides children in developing their creative resources to overcome challenges, all within a safe, non-judgmental environment. Milissa provides Art Psychotherapy and Expressive Arts Therapy services to individuals and families, nurturing a supportive relationship that fosters comfort and expression.
