Welcome to Your Art Therapy Space

Hi, I'm Anna – and I'm so glad you've found your way here. As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) based in Brooklyn, I offer virtual art therapy throughout New York State.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, adult ADHD, and life transitions to name a few. Art therapy is a clinical mental health profession that is process-based and rooted in the belief that creating art is inherently therapeutic–it's not about the final product, but about what emerges through the creative process itself. I also integrate psychodynamic approaches, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Trauma-Focused CBT. I approach all of my client work through a holistic lens.

I know reaching out can feel difficult. That's why I offer a free phone consultation where we can connect and see if we might be a good fit.

Ready to begin? I'd love to hear from you.

Anna Stewart, She/Her

I can support you with:

  • Your Journey

    Understanding your mental health is the first step toward healing. I provide psychoeducation to help you understand diagnoses, psychological processes, and the reasons behind your experiences. As your therapist, I'll support you in building self-awareness and coping strategies through our collaborative therapeutic approach. Taking that first step into therapy is often the most important part of your mental health journey.

  • Life Transitions

    Life transitions like moving, career changes, or relationship endings can feel overwhelming, especially in NYC. I provide specialized life transitions therapy and stress management counseling to help you navigate major changes. Together, we'll develop personalized coping strategies, build resilience, and create actionable plans to support your adjustment and mental wellness during times of change.

  • Stress Management

    Chronic stress significantly impacts both mental and physical health, causing symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, anxiety, and physical ailments. Through stress management and mindfulness focused treatment for anxiety, I help clients develop effective stress reduction techniques and coping skills. Together, we'll work to minimize stress-related symptoms and improve your overall mental health and wellbeing.

  • Depression

    Depression affects over 21 million Americans and can significantly impact relationships, work performance, and daily functioning. Whether triggered by life events or ongoing, depression is treatable through evidence-based approaches. Therapy can help clients recognize symptoms, reduce shame, and develop effective coping strategies. Treatment for depression may include therapy in combination with other treatments, depending on the individual.

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety treatment requires comprehensive support and effective coping strategies. Art-based interventions like mindfulness and grounding exercises can provide natural stress relief. Exploring the mind-body connection through art can aid in anxiety management. Art therapy offers a uniquely calming therapeutic experience that helps reduce anxiety symptoms while building long-term resilience and emotional regulation.
