Why “Ruby”?

Rubies symbolize strength, commitment, and passion, values I strive for in my everyday practice and hope to nurture in my own clients. They are powerful reminders that we are incredible rare, unique, and resilient.

 FAQs

  • “Art therapy is a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship.”

    -American Art Therapy Association, arttherapy.org

  • You do not have to be an artist! Anyone can participate in art therapy. Art therapists are trained to meet the needs of a vast variety of people. It is not about the product, but rather the process.

  • In order to provide you with the lowest out of pocket cost, we currently do not have a studio. Sessions may be held virtually or in-home (we come to you!)

  • At this time, no. Ruby Creative Therapy is solely a private-pay practice. This allows us freedom in treatment plans, without the barriers of authorizations, limits, diagnoses, and preset requirements for therapeutic goals. We provide complete personalization to fit your needs as an individual.
