Introducing Terra Telehealth
Introducing Terra Telehealth

Telehealth therapy sessions are defined as sessions that “use interactive audio, video, or other telecommunications or electronic media by a counselor or therapist to deliver counseling services (COMAR 10.58.06).” Telehealth sessions may be necessary due to geographic, health, and/or therapeutic need. The availability of telehealth sessions are subject to the same limitations as in-person sessions but also rely upon third-party technology up-time (internet service provider, telephone, and/or telehealth video provider).

Are you a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in need of clinical supervision or a Licensed Counselor (LCPC, LCSW-c) in need of clinical consultation?  Terra is here to support and help you grow and offers board-approved supervisor services in Maryland.



Art can take what is invisible and make it visible. Art therapy is a mental health profession that allows for the verbal and nonverbal expression of thoughts and emotions. When patients transform their thoughts and feelings into tangible images, they can explore them from a different perspective in a non-threatening manner. As stated by American Art Therapy Association, an art therapist uses the healing aspects of art to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Benefits of Art Therapy

Art therapists meet you and your level of artistry right where you are. Artistic skill or experience is not required to benefit from this work; the process bypasses perceived limitations and goes to personal strengths.

Art therapy is…

  • Rooted in creativity and adaptive to each individual’s needs and wants in the therapeutic relationship;
  • Appropriate for people of all ages, needs, backgrounds, and goals;
  • Helpful to people who want to find and communicate meaning;
  • An expressive therapy that promotes mental, emotional, and physical healing.

Art Therapy and Trauma Recovery

Responses to traumatic stress are individual, highly subjective, and dependent on a person’s resources, supports, and strengths. Trauma is experienced in three ways: Physically (the body), cognitively (memory and thought), and emotionally (the subjective experience). The making and processing of art allow access to all three of these characteristics of trauma.

  • Art therapy facilitates the organization and integration of traumatic memories as it helps you understand and process your experiences differently.
  • The creative process reactivates positive emotions and serves as a vehicle for communicating difficult topics.
  • The process of artmaking reduces the heightened arousal responses of trauma triggers such as the fight, flight, freeze responses.
  • It enhances emotional self-efficacy and maintains a space for the exploration of self-perception.  Artmaking lends autonomy over the therapeutic process because the work is literally in the client’s hands. The image can communicate unconscious thought processes and form a bridge between thought and communication.
  • It enhances the development and reintegration of identity as the traumatic responses are unpacked through art therapy, made sense of together with the therapist, and put back together to form a piece of artistic, traumatic, and healing expression.

Art Therapy and Neuroscience

From a neuroscientific perspective, early experiences shape the brain and set attachments for life, but significant experiences of positive relatedness to others later in life can reform attachments and change the brain. Reciprocal verbal and nonverbal communication facilitates trust and shared meanings to alter and repair attachment. Neurogenesis, the brain’s capacity for growth, and neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for change, are most efficient when there are different types of sensory input. This is where the multi-sensory aspect of artmaking comes in. Interventions that utilize the body can help to solidify a connection between sensorimotor experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, and inferred meaning. Reintegrating the brain in this manner allows for a literal rewiring of trauma memories.

  • Artmaking activates both sides of the brain and forges a mind-body connection.
  • Activation of both sides of the brain supports neurogenesis, the brain’s capacity to form new neurons, and neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to form and reorganize synaptic connections.
  • Art therapy facilitates the healing of the brain by activating the mind-body connection and reintegrating the trauma memories with new perceptions.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)

This treatment method is used to heal the symptoms of trauma and other emotional conditions. This therapy uses right/left eye movement and tactile or sound stimulation in repetition which activates both sides of the brain. This, in turn, releases the individual from intense feelings associated with the traumatic event. EMDR allows the client to process experiences that he or she is not yet able to talk about. Many times following this type of therapy, clients are able to speak to their therapist about the event.  Clients are strongly encouraged to explore the relevant research that supports this unique technique.

Wellness Practice Management

Wellness professionals want to focus on helping others, whether they are counselors, speech pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, or coaches. They rarely want to focus on the systems, policies, and regulations that are required to turn wellness into a successful business. We implement the practice management systems that help wellness professionals manage well and keep their focus on their clients, where it belongs.
