DESCRIPTION
Kaleidoscope Art Therapy and Counseling focuses on providing neurodivergent/LGBTQAI+ affirming, culturally responsive, trauma-informed mental health services by creating a welcoming, non-judgmental space that encourages growth, exploration, and joy. We specialize in art and play therapy and focus on serving neurodivergent children, teen, adults, and families. Our goal is to create a space where people who feel “weird,” out of place, or that they don't belong can see themselves reflected in the people serving them. At Kaleidoscope we are constantly unlearning narratives of what traditionally works in therapy and relearning what actually helps clients.
