Dr. Nancy Lubow, a Licensed Professional Counselor, is dedicated to empowering clients through her innovative 'whole brain' creative arts therapy. By guiding individuals to uncover the words and images that articulate their thoughts and emotions, she helps them recognize how their negative behaviors have developed as coping mechanisms in response to interpersonal stressors. The BrainsmART process that she offers enables clients to organize their emotions and effectively release past traumas stored in both the body and mind. When emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-evaluate their memories and beliefs, paving the way to overcome self-destructive patterns. Dr. Lubow specializes in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and the range of self-harming behaviors stemming from abandonment and loss, applying her expertise to address eating disorders, addictions, mood disorders, and more as adaptive strategies. Her approach is creatively designed to transform addictive urges into self-empowering actions through the innate human need to express oneself artistically. By integrating the principles of Gestalt, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Attachment Theory with a Trauma-informed Creative Arts framework, Nancy skillfully connects body, mind, and emotions. With a rich background in visual and musical arts and research in the psychobiology of trauma, Dr. Lubow provides BRAINsmART strategies that transform negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors into constructive and creative actions.
