Art Therapy

For Kids + Adults

Screen Shot 2022-05-17 at 12.19.29 AM.png
We are expanding the definition of art and art therapy. These sessions are designed around the individuals we serve and blend a variety of modalities. We combine Art Therapy best practices with Cognitive-Behavioral frameworks to meet people where they are and incrementally open up a new world of possibilities. Art Therapy is a great support for all people, especially neurodivergent and Twice- Exceptional Kids. These sessions a great alternative to ABA Therapy for children on the Autism spectrum or those desiring a more holistic framework for development. Art Therapy is a mode of empowerment, self-expression and discovery beyond words... and interestingly it often motivates people to find the words to describe their experiences while igniting insight and rapid skill development.

Art Therapy Sessions

  • One to one in-person Transformative Art Therapy sessions support people of all ages, stages, and backgrounds in meaningful ways.

  • We serve kids ages 18 months to 8 years old.

  • Sessions are held at your home, your child's school, or in our heARTful Kids Hangout (3500 Mountain Blvd).

  • ​​These sessions support little ones in expanding their social, emotional, and cognitive development. The sessions begin as open ended explorations (loose assessments and parent interviews) to focus on building relationship and evolve into goal-based support in a playful way with meaningful outcomes. The focus is on having fun and trying new things within structured sessions that meet your child in their areas of strength, while gradually expanding skills in their areas of growth.

  • We combine art, reflective prompts, games, and creative play to build a model of growth based on your chosen support package.

  • We will also work with you to integrate this growth into your daily routine between sessions.

Testimonials

"I had an exceptional experience with Vita and Heartful Kids. When my son was approaching his first school experience, I reached out to Vita asking for help. She immediately felt easy to communicate with. She was responsive and caring and warm–something I knew my son would need. I didn't need more than our first zoom meeting to know she would offer my son Victor the support he (and we as a family) needed. Vita began by observing my son in his school setting and immediately noticed his need for connection. She saw through his “behaviors” and understood his motives. Her expertise in social emotional learning was evident in the way Vita helped him navigate ways to connect with peers.

 

Our family as a whole benefited from Vita’s services. My mom–who also has a learning disability–was able to understand Victor better by reading Vita’s notes. Vita can flex her strategies in the moment–a skill that hugely benefits children who have fluctuating and varying support needs. I highly recommend Vita."

"Vita worked with our daughter, Olive, as her ABA therapist during a pivotal time in her early development, and I can say without hesitation that her work changed our lives. Olive's progress under Vita’s guidance was nothing short of remarkable; she not only learned to speak but also began to thrive in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Vita’s genuine love and care extended beyond Olive to us as parents, helping us navigate the emotional challenges with compassion, patience, and honesty. She stayed late, answered every question, and gave us hope when we needed it most.

​

Vita later transitioned from ABA therapy to offering Transformative Arts sessions, and both of my daughters absolutely loved attending. What sets Vita apart is her ability to connect deeply with children and families, meeting them where they are and helping them grow in ways that feel natural and empowering. Vita is one of a kind."

"I have had the privilege of working closely with HeARTful Kids for several years. Our long-standing partnership has allowed us to directly experience the intentionality behind their curriculum and planning as well as the exceptional social-emotional benefits their program provides. Heartful Kids has consistently demonstrated an intentional and thoughtful approach in their curriculum, integrating social-emotional learning into every aspect of their programming. Their phenomenal teachers are carefully selected to ensure they are equipped to serve children from diverse backgrounds.

​

One of the most impressive aspects of Heartful Kids is their ability to adapt and evolve their programming each year to meet the changing needs of our students. We have seen firsthand the positive impact their work has had on our students, who consistently respond with enthusiasm to Heartful Kids' engaging and inclusive offerings."
