Natalie Mercedes is a recent grad student of Springfield College for her M.Ed in Art Therapy & Counseling. She is continuously evolving as an artist, human, and therapist in the makin’.
Art therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative processes, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship (AATA, 2022).
"As a therapist, I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and empathy to each session, each day. I believe that the use of a Person-Centered approach in my practice offers clients the opportunity to feel empowered while I sit in the passenger seat of their journey. With active listening skills and Art therapy modalities, individuals can explore their inner selves in creative arts creations. I believe that with my skills and creative outlets, I can support individuals within the mental health community with my consistency, warmth, and healing processes."
