Hi, I’m Maria Sossi, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT (she, her) I am a New York State licensed and board-certified creative art therapist providing psychotherapy and art therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic, client-centered, and deeply grounded in the restorative power of the creative process. I draw on a variety of therapeutic methods, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. While integrating art therapy into our work is always an option, it is never a requirement. In my experience, the most important aspect of therapy isn’t the specific approach, but providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves freely and can build a trusting therapeutic relationship. My clinical experience includes treating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, and providing support for parents. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I offer free phone consultations to see if we might be a good fit to work together.
