Joan Ungar, LP (MA) Art Therapist
Philosophy of Care
I believe that therapy is most effective when the mind, body and spirit work together.
I believe that therapy is most effective when the mind, body and spirit work together.
I utilize whole brain practices of:
Art Therapy, which includes imagery, creativity, visual journaling, and active client participation. See page on Art therapy for more information.
EMDR: Extensive research has demonstrated highly effective outcomes of EMDR with trauma, performance enhancement and resolution of psychological blocks. EMDR accesses the natural healing abilities of the body through the use of right/left brain stimulation, similar to REM sleep.
EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping on emotional acupuncture points on the body. This technique is especially useful for stress management.
Behavior/Cognitive Techniques: Changing belief systems is paramount to changing behaviors. I work with dysfunctional beliefs and help clients to experiment with new behaviors so that the body experiences actual change.
By employing the above techniques, you, as a client will experience:
- safety in a relaxed environment,
- encouragement and empowerment,
- focus on your individual needs,
- reinforcement of your strengths,
- active participation
