COVID-19
At this time, therapy sessions are conducted exclusively online through tele-health platforms such as Zoom or Doxy.me to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
ALICE SORENSEN LCAT, LMSW, MT-BC
Therapy helps us break through our own patterns of suffering by dissecting and evaluating them, and implementing new changes. My goal is to help people use their experiences and motivations to effect positive change in their lives, instead of becoming barriers and stumbling points.
​
I am a fully licensed creative arts therapist, licensed master social worker, and board certified music therapist, practicing psychotherapy with creative arts/music influences and interventions. Together we'll talk about what matters to you, and maybe process it by exploring through music, art, or your creative process. If you just want to talk, that's ok too! Creativity flows through the healing process and exists in many forms. CBT and DBT skills may be incorporated through an open, judgement-free, person-centered framework.

CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY
Source: NYS Office of Professions
Creative arts therapy is a profession that uses active engagement in the arts to address mental, emotional, developmental, and behavioral disorders. Creative arts therapy uses the relationship between the patient and therapist in the context of the artistic process as a dynamic force for change. It can also be used to manage stress and promote mental and physical health.
​
By guiding patients to create and reflect on art and the artistic process, creative arts therapists help people increase awareness of self and others, cope with the symptoms of stress, illness and trauma, and enhance cognitive abilities. They help their patients improve self-esteem, develop more effective communications skills and relationships, gain insight into patterns of behavior, and create new options for coping with problems.
