MEET MONICA

Monica Faltas, CAT-LP, ATR-P

Creative Arts Therapist

Specialties: Art Therapy

Works With: Ages 5+

Therapy can seem a bit overwhelming at first. So much can emerge when we simply allow ourselves to create freely, without rules. While talk therapy is a powerful tool, we still have the power to limit what we do and don’t say. Through art therapy, we can explore both conscious and subconscious struggles we experience. Creativity can lead to deep healing in unexpected ways. It always comes out in the art.

I have worked with people of all ages, from 5 to 75. I have always loved working with children, but I like to explore that childlike experience of life with everyone I come to know, no matter how young or old. What changes as we age? Why is everything so different when we’re older? Is it still possible to live so simply?

I conduct an eclectic therapeutic practice, drawing on a variety of evidence-based approaches, theories, and specialties, including CBT, Humanistic Theories (Person-Centered, Existential, Gestalt), Music Therapy, Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, and more.

I hope to provide an empathetic yet challenging environment where we can work together to help you grow and change so that you feel equipped to manage everything on your plate. It’s everyone’s first time in this life; we can’t pretend we always know what we’re doing! Let’s create a safe, supportive, and creative environment where we can learn together how to best explore and manage the ebbs and flows of this complicated life.
