Our Beliefs

Here at Spotted Rabbit we do therapy differently. As art therapists we’re trained in traditional talk therapy, as well as the therapeutic use of art-making. As people we bring our values of acceptance, authenticity, and compassion to work with us. We specialize in only the highest quality trauma-informed, strength-based care for neurodivergent individuals and the LGBTQIA+ community.

REAL

We won’t tell you to just think more positively. Your distress is valid and needs to be witnessed. And if you want to take off your shoes that’s okay too.

ACCEPTING

We value individuality and encourage each client to identify and work toward their own personal values and explore their own unique identity.

VALUES-BASED

We believe distress comes from living a life that is inauthentic and that does not provide sufficient meaning and purpose. We can help you change that.

RESPONSIVE

We have same week availability for new clients and our therapists return messages from new and established clients throughout the day.

TRAUMA-INFORMED

We recognize that trauma occurs from a wide range of experiences and that many mental health issues are rooted in dysfunctional family lives and traumatic childhood experiences.

ACCESSIBLE

Our space is fully ADA accessible and gender neutral. Telehealth is available for residents of NYS. Reduced rate options are available with our interns & associate level therapists.

SAFE

We know that mental health treatment can be a source of trauma. That’s why we work in an art studio, not a sterile medical facility and take confidentiality seriously.

“I had an excellent creative arts therapy experience at Spotted Rabbit, including having the pleasure of working with Rivka, who was professional, engaging and insightful. My primary project was making a vision board to help guide me through the next several years of my life. There are many modality options at Spotted Rabbit, so do not hesitate to explain your project/activity preferences, be it visual arts, pottery, Origami, collage, painting, etc. The Therapists are there to help and are highly accommodating to all skill levels. I highly recommend Spotted Rabbit Creative Arts Therapy for an immersive, person-centered and stimulating therapy experience.”

“I saw Sarah Perry at Spotted Rabbit Studio for two years and it changed how I saw therapy forever. She was kind, gentle and held me accountable when needed. As a clinician myself, I learned so much from the way Sarah held space and made me feel seen and I hope to bring a touch of her magic into my own practice. Sarah is fantastic. I would not have gotten through the ebbs and flows of navigating graduate school and life without her. I highly recommend her services and think the world of her. If you are looking for an amazing clinician, look no further”

“Over the last year, I have worked through many things and Sarah has not only helped to provide a safe, comfortable environment do so, but also provided helpful solutions that work for me personally. I feel that Sarah genuinely wants to help/guide and isn’t just listening to listen, which makes for a great experience. I highly recommend Sarah and am grateful that I found Spotted Rabbit.”
