Having trouble getting your teenage daughter to open up? Filled with worry over what you don’t know about her? Longing for her to just let you in? Often the last thing a teenager wants to do is talk with a parent about her feelings. Teens are concerned with gaining independence and creating a sense of identity all their own. They tend to feel that adults just don’t understand their life. Art thera
py offers a non-threatening and relaxed way to explore thoughts and emotions. Art Therapist Jennifer Leach has designed the ArtForms program to provide just such an experience – a series of creative art prompts to help tap into heart, mind and spirit. Having experienced the powerful effects of the creative process in her own life, Jennifer is passionate about helping others discover the healing that a creative outlet can provide. She offers group, individual, and family art therapy sessions for teens, children and parents. Jennifer holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Murray State University, and studied Art Therapy at the University of Louisville, where she earned a Masters of Education in Counseling and Personnel Services with an emphasis in Expressive Therapies. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) and is currently in the application process to become a Licensed Professional Art Therapist Associate (LPATA). In addition to helping teenagers, Jennifer also enjoys working with younger children with a variety of challenging behaviors, including symptoms of ADHD, and children and adults with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities.
