What sets us apart?
Our language
Declarative and strength-building — never shaming. We lead with curiosity to build trust and community.
Collaborative growth
We partner with guardians and site liaisons for a 360° view of every client. Shared language and coordinated care mean each client has real understanding and support to thrive — not conflicting messages from different areas of their life.
Curiosity for individual talent
We guide a client-led care model. As clients discover their own interests and strengths, they build confidence — we encourage the sharing of their ideas to foster leadership skills.
Our size
We stay small on purpose. Our therapists support only a handful of partnered programs each year, so not overextended— every partner site gets real time, attention, and follow-through.

Whenever illness is associated with loss of soul, the arts emerge spontaneously as remedies, soul medicine...When the soul is depressed, isolated, mad and distraught, artistic images appear.

Advocacy
The Patient Palette maintains relationships with organizations that advocate for the well-being and mental health of individuals in our community. We always welcome hearing how we can better meet our community's needs, as well as look forward to partnering with other practices and businesses that share similar values for community wellness.
Theoretical values
We are trained in understanding human development across the lifespan. We value an integrated approach to care that embodies elements of Humanistic, Attachment, Psychodynamic, Behavioral, and Biological theories of therapy. We believe in holding a sincerely approachable space, that is both empathetic and imaginative. We offer a 20-minute First Client greeting call to make sure that you find us the right fit for your needs, and vice versa, at no cost. We believe each client should have a realistic expectation about what we can offer them through the process of Creative Arts Therapy.
Supervision hours
If you are a NY State Limited Permit holding/eligible Creative Arts Therapist that needs supervisory hours, we would be happy to mentor you. Please contact us to discuss your therapeutic area and need. If we appear to be a good match, we would certainly support you through your journey.
