On Therapeutic Art
Art therapists use the undeniable, intuitive and universal power of the arts to support expression and integration in the healing process. Through intentional and precise creative techniques, art therapists support their clients to move towards healing using symbolism, metaphor, cognitive interventions, and the magic of the creative process. The art object created in a therapeutic art session may sometimes be imagined as an externalized aspect of the Soul, with potent wisdom to offer both its creator and the collective.
ClayField Therapy and Guided Drawing are profoundly effective, sensorimotor-based art therapy modalities that integrate the ancient wisdom of the body with current trauma therapy techniques to support resilience and recovery. These approaches rely heavily on the “felt sense” experience of the client as they work, and less traditional, cognitive approaches to healing. In accordance with innovative research in trauma recovery and integration, these techniques work from the “bottom up” to help client’s discover a sense of personal reliance, support, and profound repair.

Elizabeth Amaro, MFT
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I practice from a person-centered, trauma informed framework. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, meeting them where they are, and creating goals that support their current needs and hopes for the future.
When working with couples, I take time to understand their perspectives, and I aim to identify areas of strength as well areas where the couple could integrate new habits and tools. I utilize research-based approaches such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) during the sessions, in hopes of creating opportunities to increase connection and manage challenging interactions. While working with families and individuals, I integrate traditional psychotherapy methods with experiential tools found in art therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. I believe in the mind body connection and have seen how powerful art can be in externalizing and processing difficult trauma narratives. I also utilize a therapy technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with survivors of trauma; EMDR is a method of psychotherapy that is proven to be highly effective in significantly decreasing emotional distress after a traumatic event and can be effective in the treatment of complex trauma, phobias, anxiety, and PTSD.
When working with clients, I focus on identifying and implementing culturally relevant, systems-focused interactions by utilizing my extensive training in art and trauma therapy. I incorporate my formal art training and experience as well as evidence-based therapeutic practices to meet the needs of diverse populations. I have also worked extensively with individuals, couples, families impacted by childhood abuse and sexual assault. Throughout these collective experiences, I have witnessed the power of art and mindfulness as effective tools for safe healing from trauma, victimization and other life issues. I am also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish fluently. My areas of expertise include trauma/post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress reduction, marital conflict, postpartum anxiety and depression, and managing life’s challenges. I also have extensive training and experience in virtual therapy.
