Next group: August 7th through November 13th, 2024

Day/Time: Wednesdays 6pm-8pm

Location: Wildflower Art Studio in Denton, TX

 

Eligibility: Adults age 20+ Art experience not required. All members must attend a free, 30-minute pre-group consultation

 

Cost: $75/session

This rate includes the cost of all art materials, which will be provided.

Length of Group: The next group begins August 7, 2024 and will meet weekly for 15 weeks. 

 

Size: This is a closed group, meaning who we start with is who we finish with (no surprise additions along the way). The maximum size of the group would be 10 members.

How to start: Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation with me. 

The consult is an opportunity to meet, learn more about the group, discuss

what your hopes and expectations are, and see if it’s a good overall fit. Scheduling a pre-group consultation is not a commitment to join the group.

What to Expect: 

Groups will typically start with a check-in. Group members will engage in an organic conversation by sharing what is going on for everyone that week. You are not required to share, and we keep it interactional versus sharing round robin style. However, if you are more of a wallflower, other members may get curious about you and start to ask questions. After we check in, we’ll do an art activity together based on themes or topics that show up for folks. Some art activities you may work individually and others may be collaborative. Then, at the end of group we’ll make time to process the art making together. I will be there each week as the group therapist. I will provide help with art materials, facilitate the discussion, and draw out the themes that connect us. I will also maintain the emotional safe space of the group if interactions ever become adversarial.

About your group therapist:

Hi! I'm Kaylia (she/her). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience leading art groups for Sante Center for Healing in Denton and in my own private practice in Austin. I was born in Berkeley, California and grew up mostly in north Texas. I went to UNT for undergrad and grad school. I am so excited to be back in Denton after four years in Austin. 

In my private practice, I specialize in existential concerns, such as identity exploration, navigating uncertainty, and meaning-making. I also work with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. My therapeutic style is warm, relational, and existential. I am an INFJ, enneagram 4wing5, Ravenclaw, Pisces if any of that interests you.

I enjoy working with more “fluid” media, including watercolors, oil pastels, and oil paints. For me, the most fun art materials are colorful, messy, and malleable. But don't worry, we will be working with all types of media in this group! Discover what you like and play around with new materials you never thought you'd try this fall. Whether you're an artist or a novice, you won't be alone in this group. We're all in it together. The goal is not to make "good art" but to benefit from the process of art-making. It is truly therapeutic. Can't wait to see you there!
