You can’t always heal Anxiety by talking about it.

At Davenport Creative Arts Therapy, we believe that in order to transform anxiety, you can’t just simply address distorted thought patterns. You can’t simply “think” or “talk” your way out of anxiety!

Anxiety lives in the mind AND body. That’s why we combined creative, cognitive, mind-body, and behavioral methods to address anxiety, holistically.

  • “I’m very happy with Davenport Creative Arts Therapy. I was having anxiety and had a depressed mood because of work and other personal issues. I felt down, lonely, empty, sad in the morning, having anxiety episodes on my way to work, etc.. To me, all of these symptoms were new so I was really scared and thought that those feelings were going to stay forever. But after meeting and working with Donna for a while, I feel alive again, now I appreciate everything around me, feel happy and motivated again, try to put everything in perspective while looking for a balance between myself and others around me.

Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life. Anxiety is treatable!

Art Therapy acts as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, revealing underlying emotions and conflicts that contribute to anxiety build-up in the mind and body.

Art Therapy is a type of psychotherapy involving creative self expression through various art making materials.

Through guided art making and talk therapy, individuals gain insight into their anxiety, work towards resolving underlying stressors, and practice coping strategies.

Are you talking in circles in your therapy sessions?

Our team of licensed Art Therapists off creative, expressive and arts-based intevetntions to compliment “talk” therapy.

You do not need to be “artistic” or “creative” to benefit from our approach. We are trained in Art Therapy and evidence-based traditional therapies.

What do Anxiety Therapy sessions look like with an Art Therapist?

At Davenport Creative Arts Therapy, we’ll help you explore anxiety through interventions such as art making, mindfulness techniques, and creative writing in addition to talking.

You don’t need to “make art” in every session. However, we will offer the option of therapeutic art making as a tool to help you address anxiety. In some sessions, you may only want to talk, and that’s okay! We are trained in ‘talk’ therapy, too!
