Part of a Whole
-February
Each month The Patient Palette will offer a small, virtual group session at no cost for members of our Patient Palette community. This month we will be offering:
Personal Perspectives on Military Culture
Local Military Family Experience
This group supports Active Duty, Veterans, and Family Members 18+. Drawing upon narrative and mindfulness, group members will reflect upon challenges that they face across the deployment cycle and psychosocial stressors associated with the stages of deployment, both past and present. They will be encouraged to explore any ubiquitous themes arising through both their own and the collective group's artwork during this time together. This group is entirely confidential and held in a HIPAA secure online platform.
This month's group session will be offered:
Friday, February 27th: 7:00-8:00pm
Art supplies that you have at hand are sufficient, such as yarn, crayons, markers, colored pencils, paints, oil pastels, found objects, clay, and paper if joining virtually.
You must sign up via the form below. Please sign up at least 7 days before the group so we can let you know if there is still room. You will receive a response from us confirming your place and/or letting you know if we are full for that session. If we regretfully cannot offer you a spot, please sign up again for another month's group session!
If you are not yet a registered community member of the Patient Palette, you will be required to have a 20 minute First Client greeting call and submit in-take paperwork in our secure client portal before being able to attend. This is an art therapy group and we must have your consent to participate documented. We appreciate your understanding! If you do not meet this requirement 48 hours in advance of the session, we will release your spot so that someone else in our community has the opportunity to partake.
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, 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.
