Art Therapy
In individual counseling, you will have a space that is yours, where you’ll be able to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental setting. Some areas of focus include improving positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem, and being better able to cope with diagnosis impacting our daily lives.
Art therapy is a mental health profession that combines the creative process of art-making with psychotherapy. We use art materials based on needs/diagnosis and the creative process to help people express themselves, explore emotions, and improve overall well-being when words alone can’t. This allows the space to non-verbally communicate feelings and experiences, which can improve self-awareness, relieve stress, and assist personal growth.
Meet Lauren Neustadt, LCPC, ATR, CCATP, C-DBT, CAIMHP
I'm Lauren- a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Art Therapist (ATR). I offer virtual therapy in Illinois and specialize working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, lack of self esteem/confidence, life transitions, and mood disorders.
My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I utilize different evidence-based therapies including DBT (as a certified DBT provider), CBT, Expressive Therapy (Art Therapy), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Healing looks different for everyone, and I will always tailor sessions to meet you where you are and support what you need in the moment.
​​
Growth can begin in the quiet decision to try something new. Whether you’re carrying a lot, feeling stuck, or ready for change, there is space here for support. Taking the first step can feel big, but you don't have to do it alone. If you are interested in services, please fill out your contact information below and I will gladly get back to you.

Below are the insurances accepted

I can verify your insurance benefits prior to our initial session; however, it is the client's responsibility to confirm whether I am in-network. The best way to do this is by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. You can also utilize the online provider lookup system through Blue Cross Blue Shield or Aetna.
