I was thrilled to be invited back to Shoreline Psychological LLC last week! I presented on Autism: Misdiagnoses and Missed Diagnosis. The clinicians here are such a delight to talk with, and we parsed out different ways of being neuroaffirming both diagnostically and therapeutically. I would recommend them to anyone seeking expertise in DBT or evaluation. Dr. Abby Lipschutz has assembled a powerful team and her investment in them is evident. Thank you for this opportunity!

Halloween has always been a favorite holiday for me, I love getting crafty with pumpkins and costumes. In England people used to carve turnips as jack o lanterns- as hard as it is to carve a pumpkin, I imagine turnips take more effort!

Group is starting again in just a few weeks! People are signing up and I can’t wait to meet everyone. Even though this is a support group it’s far from “gloom and doom”- we have lots of fun and lightbulb moments! To register (or tell a friend) just email me: katy@katymacrae.com

The more I facilitate groups, the more I get feedback about how sorely needed they are! Different groups provide different experiences, and fill different needs. My groups are closed and time limited, giving participants a chance to “go deep” and get vulnerable if they want to. Some folks prefer to mostly listen, and nonspeaking members are encouraged to actively participate via chat. If you or someone you know is interested in this deeply neuroaffirming experience (or just have questions) drop me a line: katy@katymacrae.com

I share creativity.

I'm a therapist who specializes in using creativity for healing. I’ve always loved making art, and thought about becoming an art therapist. Ultimately I decided to become a clinical social worker, and along the way I realized I wanted to use creativity in my therapy work with clients. I meet lots of other therapists who want to use art and creativity too, but for a variety of reasons can’t attend art therapy school. I created a practice, “Mindful Creativity”, which I use with my individual and group clients. Unlike art therapy, we focus on mindfulness practices and incorporating DBT and CBT therapies. Clients gain insight and learn coping skills while also getting to relax and enjoy expressing themselves. I love to share my methods with other therapists, and Mindful Creativity has revitalized my practice and my life!
