Getting to know Christian Cotumaccio
Christian Cotumaccio is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist who creates a safe, authentic, and empowering space for clients to reconnect with their internal creative force and begin shifting tools of survival into tools used to thrive. They enjoy working with teens, adults, and seniors who are ready to rediscover their artist self and use it as a resource for insight, especially while navigating life's challenges and openings. Christian works as a fellow traveler alongside their clients, so no one has to navigate the hard stuff alone.
Their therapeutic approach blends Creative Arts Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based approaches, grounded in culturally sensitive process work. Through symbols, mark making, and a range of art media, clients begin to reflect, process, and express parts of themselves in ways that are artistic and intuitive. Similar to the way moss returns to a fallen tree, Christian helps clients notice small forms of life growing back in places once believed dormant. Their work is led by the belief that therapy must honor a client's intersectionality and lived experience, that clients already carry their own answers and simply need someone to ask the right questions, and that any creative problem calls for a creative solution.
Christian holds a Master's degree in Creative Arts Therapy from Hofstra University and has supported children, adolescents, and adults across behavioral health settings, adolescent partial hospitalization programs, and inpatient substance use disorder rehabilitation. They are a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), bringing specialized training to the tender terrain of loss and trauma work.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Grief and Loss Support
Grief does not follow a straight line, and it does not care about tidy timelines. As a Certified Grief Informed Professional, Christian meets clients in the middle of loss, whether it is the loss of a person, an identity, a relationship, a version of yourself, or a life you thought you would have. Through creative process, clients begin to give shape to what has felt unspeakable, honoring what was and slowly making room for what comes next, at their own pace and in their own language.
Anxiety and Emotion Regulation
Anxiety often shows up when the body and mind have been carrying too much for too long. Christian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside creative arts practice to help clients notice what they are feeling, make room for it instead of fighting it, and take values-aligned action even when discomfort is present. Art media becomes a tool for regulation and understanding, giving clients a way to work with anxiety that goes beyond talking about it.
Depression and Reconnection to the Creative Self
Depression has a way of dimming the parts of us that once felt alive. Christian's work centers on helping clients rediscover their artist self as a resource for insight, expression, and reconnection, gently rebuilding the pathway back to what matters. Whether a client has not made art in years or has never considered themselves creative at all, the invitation is the same: come as you are, and let something begin to grow.
