Therapists Who Share Your Lived Experiences
good therapists
Spotted Rabbit Studio believes that good therapists specialize in particular areas of professional mental health treatment. Even within our group practice, our individual therapists have their own areas of expertise. Their expertise is grounded not only in their advanced clinical training, but also in their lived experience and authentic investment in the communities they serve. We invite you to explore our specialties and learn more about the Spotted Rabbit therapist(s) who work in those areas.

ANXIETY
Have you ever been told to "just relax"? Yeah, it’s not very helpful, is it? Our therapists believe it’s important to understand the connection between our emotions and our nervous system, so we can find effective strategies for anxiety that impact both mind and body. Using an effective combination of ACT and somatic approaches, we gently help your nervous system find safety and calm.
Complex Trauma
Not having your emotional needs met as a child can lead to becoming an adult who struggles to form and maintain healthy relationships...and has a hard time trusting others. You might find that it’s difficult to set boundaries and that you've set some unrealistic standards for yourself. We can explain how trauma impacts development and help you make sense of the chaos.
Depression
Here at Spotted Rabbit, we take a whole body approach to treating depression. We help you look at how your past and present lived experiences impact you, review the stories you continue to tell about yourself, explore how your actions align with your values, and help you vastly improve your relationships and environment to better meet your needs through creative therapy.
Intuitive Eating
Using an intuitive eating philosophy we help you reconnect with your body, learn to trust your own hunger, and take steps to address the underlying issues that lead you to use food to cope. This leads to a greater sense of control over food choices, increased understanding of your emotions, and a more positive sense of self.
LGBTQIA+ Challenges
Life can be pretty miserable when we aren’t living as our authentic selves. Many of our Spotted Rabbit therapists identify as LGBTQIA+, so they know what it’s like in the real world to try to live as someone they aren’t. They also know what it’s like to try to figure out exactly who you are and what you want to present to the rest of the world.
Neurodivergence
Trying to live in a neurotypical world when you have autism, ADHD, or AuDHD likely means your batteries are always drained. What if there was a different way than just masking and pushing through? Our therapists focus on helping you craft a life that works with you, rather than against you, as well as one that recognizes and honors your strengths.
Non-Traditional Relationships
Therapy here can feel more like sitting in a creative studio than being assessed under fluorescent lights. Sessions may include talking, drawing, collage, clay, movement, visual journaling, grounding, sensory support, or simply having a real conversation with someone who is not asking you to perform being okay. The creative process is not about talent. It is about giving your nervous system another way to express what you have experienced.
OCD
When you have OCD, your mind can feel like it’s constantly asking for reassurance, certainty, or one more check. It can be exhausting to feel like you have to listen to those thoughts just to get a moment of relief. Our therapists can help you understand what’s happening without judgment and develop new ways of responding, so you can spend less energy managing OCD and more energy living a life that feels like yours.
Individual Creative art classes
Our teaching artists are experienced in a variety of traditional and non-traditional visual arts media and methods. Personalized art classes allow participants opportunities to explore the creative process, develop a personal style and expand the technical quality of their artwork all while practicing critical soft skills such as frustration tolerance, socialization, and communication.
