Getting to know Rachel Kremidas

It is a fundamental rule in nature that creatures are born with the skills they need to survive: fish are born swimming, caterpillars have the ability to make their cocoon without instruction, birds have the instinct to escape their shells. And people—we are born with the ability to ask for help. So why does it become harder and harder to ask for help as we grow up? I pursued a career in mental health because I sincerely believe it is important. People hurt, and it shouldn’t be taboo to hurt. With help, we can learn how to approach that hurt proactively. I am passionate about normalizing the difficult experiences that are part of being human but can be difficult to look at. I believe creativity is innate in all of us and grants us the capacity to approach difficult feelings, behaviors, or beliefs with compassion. Art has always been a major part of my life. Prior to becoming a therapist, I pursued a career as an artist. While maintaining my studio practice, I started seeking opportunities to volunteer and host fundraisers in my community. After some time, I came to realize that my joy and skill lay not in personal recognition from the gallery world, but in using my passion for art to help others. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Art Therapy from Long Island University, Post, which deepened my understanding of how creativity can be a powerful tool in healing. I have worked in settings serving people with severe mental illnesses and in trauma treatment. With each person I connect with, I feel a tenacious gratitude to be a part of their journey.
