Breaking the Cycle with Trauma-Informed Counseling and Art Therapy

You’ve been battling symptoms for years. 

Anxiety, depression, and negative self-talk hold you back from experiencing the joy, love, and laughter you desire. 

You’ve tried talk therapy, read self-help books, and even attended healing retreats - and you're still stuck in the same cycle.

Why? Because merely talking about the problem is not enough.
 

You deserve an approach that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. This is where our service comes in.

Our approach integrates trauma-informed counselling with creative art therapy, providing the platform for your transformation.

We’re here for however long you need us to help you get to a point where you can manage independently.

Experience The Transformation Of Trauma-Informed Counseling And Art Therapy

At J Korotko Counseling & Art Therapy, you want to feel your worth, walk with your head held high and truly love yourself - flaws and all.

 

For this to happen, you must address and heal from the root of your issues rather than cope with your symptoms.

 

The problem is that traditional talk therapy, self-help books, and healing retreats haven't provided the relief and transformation you seek. This makes you feel defeated, isolated, and stuck in a cycle of anxiety and depression.

 

Everyone deserves a compassionate, personalized approach to therapy that respects and validates their experiences and journey.

 

We understand how hard it can be to admit you need help and navigate the path to healing, which is why our trauma-informed counselors and art therapists use cutting-edge, holistic methodologies to support your journey.

 

Here's how we do it: We provide individual sessions, group therapy programs, and workshops that combine trauma-informed counseling and art therapy. We create a safe environment that facilitates open communication and personal growth for as long as you need us to achieve your goals. 

 

So, you can feel empowered, hopeful, and excited about change instead of being controlled by your symptoms and feeling like you're constantly battling against yourself.

 

Now it’s time to choose your path.
