Art Therapy Services

Since 2017, Fox + Feather has been Connecticut’s only group art therapy practice that specializes in the treatment of eating disorder and trauma recovery. No other practice approaches therapy like we do: we combine anti-diet philosophy, intuitive art therapy, and the rhythms of nature into all of our offerings. This unique blend of modern ethical practice and ancient healership creates a powerful process in which the Divine in all of us is celebrated.

Spirituality

Art therapy creates a safe space to incorporate diverse spiritual practices and beliefs, ensuring that the therapeutic process resonates with every client’s unique spiritual journey. Many spiritual concepts are expressed through symbols in art, providing a means to explore complex ideas about existence, purpose, and connection to the universe.

Eating Disorder Recovery

We are passionately anti-diet and work with clients to understand the root of their disordered eating patterns, as the heart of food struggles is never actually about food. Through art, clients can gain insight into their behaviors and emotions, promote self-awareness, and develop coping strategies, ultimately facilitating healing and a healthier relationship with food and body image. We are highly skilled at monitoring clients for potential medical complications and will always refer clients to medical professionals for further assessments, or higher levels of care, if needed.

Trauma Therapy and Posttraumatic Growth

It is possible to use art therapy to create positive meaning from traumatic life experiences. Through the non-threatening, creative expression of our pain, we are then free to generate new perspectives on all that we have survived. This process leads to greater resilience in the face of future challenges, and a deeper appreciation for all the joys in one’s life.

Adolescent and Adult Services

We serve clients ages 12 and older and have clinicians on staff that specialize in the developmental needs of varying age groups. Whether it be the challenges of puberty, the transition to college, the complexity of mothering, or the passage through menopause, we’ve got you covered.

LGBTQIA+ Services

Many clients in this community face stigma and discrimination. We offer an inclusive and validating space to foster feelings of belonging.

Trans-Femme Services

EveryBODY deserves a safe space to heal and transform. As a team of cis-gender women, we love validating the Trans-Femme journey. We have worked with clients at all stages of transitioning and seek to support the reclamation of the Divine Feminine in all.

Nature’s Rhythms

Nature’s rhythms teach us about cycles—birth, growth, decay, and regeneration. By recognizing these cycles in our lives, we can better accept change and transitions. This often reduces feelings of anxiety and disconnectedness, and may be a natural remedy for SAD (seasonal affective disorder)
