Sometimes, the body and emotions move faster than reason. Perhaps you identify with some of these feelings:
Do you feel overwhelming emotions Or is it an anxiety that's difficult to understand?
Do you notice that something within you is calling for change, but fear is blocking you? you don't know where to start?
Have you forgotten how to feel comfortable? under your own skin?
Are you looking for rediscover who you are really, beyond what is expected of you?
You don't have to do it alone, and you don't have to do it all with words.
I offer a support system where creativity serves as a bridge to making the invisible visible. A place where there are no trials, ...just a safe space to unload the burden, understand your patterns and Transform what hurts into resources for your life.
You don't need to know how to draw or be an artist. All you need is the desire to explore.
Am Ana Paula Durán, professional art therapist with a psychodynamic approach
My job isn't about labeling you, but about hold you. I also work from an approach informed by trauma and bodily experience.
This means that, regardless of what you bring to therapy (anxiety, trauma, grief, identity search, or stress), we will prioritize your emotional safety. I understand how the nervous system and social context impact your well-being.
Through reconnecting with your creative self, my goal is to help you unlock fears and embrace your vulnerable parts. This will allow you to flow with confidence and authenticity in your personal and relational world, empowered by your lived experiences.
I believe in the importance of connecting with intuition and validating the experiences of each individual.
During my studies in psychology and art therapy in Canada, I discovered that creativity is healing, allowing me to express internal conflicts and make the unconscious conscious.
I have worked with people who have experienced loss, abuse, and painful changes in Canada, Germany, and Spain, offering support and empathy.
My purpose is to help those who have experienced trauma regain confidence and self-assurance, reconnecting with their essence in a safe space that promotes free expression.
