Have you tried Art Therapy?

I am a Houston Art Therapist and help people work through problems by combining traditional psychotherapy with art therapy.  Regardless of your artistic ability, skill level, experience or technique, you’ll find that art can be an amazing vehicle to help you look deep within yourself to your pure authentic core.  You define who you really are & become centered in knowing what you need – and you become empowered to achieve.

Participants describe the workshops as “extremely effective, memorable, and transformational processes.” Combining both “talk” and “art therapy” in her practice. Dr. Rodriguez leads participants on a step-by-step creative journey that encourages exploration of one’s behavior, relationships, patterns, work and life happiness. The result is a roadmap that uncovers one’s authentic and emotional power.
