Getting to know Theodore Atwood
I believe in the value of building a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship to tap into your internal strength, self-expertise, and self-expression to promote growth and support healing. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, #126521, in California, and I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies in 2015.
I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals, couples and families with diverse needs. I have experience working with all ages, from adults to teenagers and children. I most commonly work with symptoms and needs such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and addiction issues, but I am open to working with most clients who desire to move towards positive growth and are ready to commit to putting in that effort.
Initially we will identify what's most important to work with in therapy relative to the context of your life and background and begin to explore what will be helpful and relevant insights. I work from a Person-Centered foundation utilizing approaches and interventions such as Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and others to meet the needs of each individual client.
I am trained and specialize in Expressive Arts Therapy (the use of music, visual arts, writing, and other arts in therapy), which is a powerful tool to support growth and increase awareness in conjunction with talk therapy interventions. I also support clients with their creative processes in their creation of art and related creative endeavors. Creativity and creative thinking can be a powerful tool in exploring growth, challenges and change in all areas of life. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, with training and clinical experience to approach therapy through the lens of the complex influence trauma can have on all aspects of our lives.
