Art teletherapy is now available for those who choose to continue services in this manner. I will be dropping off small containers of new drawing supplies at homes on the west coast today to use during weekly sessions. Please reach out to me via text message if you would like a delivery and to participate in teletherapy. I will need your email address to send consent forms which will need to be returned before tele-sessions begin. Thank you and stay safe!
