Who is Creative?

Everybody! We all use creativity every day. But this therapy experience is for those who have a creative identity, whether as a hobby or a profession.​

This may include:

- Artists and musicians

- Performance and sports

- Business owners, scientists, and academics

Creatives Have Specific Mental Health Needs

Some of us are led by a strong, but often cloudy, desire to create. Whether or not it's a source of income, it's the passion and identity that make one a creative.


Creativity comes in many forms, yet across fields there are similar mental health challenges. From musicians and dancers, to photographers and business owners, they're led by ambitions which are often at odds with society's expectations. Marching to their own drum, creatives are often viewed as outsiders. This leads to unique mental health struggles.


Our therapy dives into the nuance of the spaces, identities, and experiences that creatives navigate. This could include the following:


- Navigating the highs and lows of the creative process alongside manic or depressive episodes

- Using your unique creative skills to build trauma resilience

- Managing systemic issues with your field, such as abusive power dynamics, toxic competitive relationships, or harmful body image expectations

- Redefining who and what your creativity is for, so that your self-worth doesn't suffer from public appraisal 

- Helping performing artists better manage social anxiety and panic attacks

How We Help Creatives

There is a gap of knowledge in the mental health profession of the clinical needs of creatives. At Wellspring Connection, we believe traditional therapy is often uninformed of the particular challenges creatives face, and also overlooks the potential that their expressive abilities have for powerful healing.

​​​

That creativity is so often the source and solution of mental health challenges is fascinating, and yet not explored enough. You can read more about the many contradictions between mental health and creativity here.
