The Full Canvas - Demystifying Art Therapy with Lindsay Parkinson

Ever been tempted to attend Art Therapy, but just not sure if it is right for you?  Are you unclear what happens in Art Therapy? After all, what is Art Therapy and why would you want to attend ? Wellness Within Founder Patti Brown and licensed Art Therapist Lindsay Kay Parkinson, LMFT, answer these questions and more in this interesting and engaging podcast! Spoiler alert: you do NOT need to be an artist!  Visit our website www.wellnesswithin.org to find out when our next session of Art Therapy is scheduled.

Lindsay Parkinson is a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Board-Certified Art Therapist, and Artist.  Her work is dedicated to creating trusted relationships and space for the process of narrating one’s story. Therapeutic Art, taught by an Art Therapist, can help us heal the split between our body and mind, our inner experiences and outer experiences.  It is an image-based process which is perfect for times when it is hard to put thoughts and feelings into words. Making art with others on a similar journey can provide much needed relief.

Lindsay graduated with her MA from Notre Dame de Namur University for both Marriage Family Therapy and Art Therapy, after having received her BA from San Francisco State University in Child & Adolescent Development, Youth & Family Services.  Traditional talk therapy combined with art therapy is the primary focus of her work, utilizing Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Problem-Solution Focused, and Family System theories. Lindsay is a Bay Area Native, and before starting her Sacramento area practice; Art & Soul Therapy, she worked in community-based programs with both adults and teens.
