| I have twenty years of experiences assisting adults, children, and adolescents process life's transitions and gain strength of self. Sometimes we accumulate limiting thoughts and beliefs from life experiences that can prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Similarly, emotions can be stored within our bodies until we are ready to release them. Through therapy or other expressive arts, we can release emotions and limiting beliefs, and then consciously change our beliefs to ones that empower us. In my work with abuse or PTSD survivors, or anyone storing grief in their bodies, I offer Reiki energy treatments to help release emotions such as anger or fear that have remained in the body. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a form of therapy that was developed in the mid-1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui, and practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Many report experience deep relaxation and emotional clarity. I also use art, play, journaling, meditation, and traditional counseling to help your or your child process any kind of loss, including childhood trauma,divorce, death, and illness. As an artist, I understand the power of creativity and expression in the healing process. Children easily express themselves through art and play. These methods of releasing and processing, in addition to family therapy, help children to cope with stress that will then help them throughout their lives. Adults can also access deep parts of themselves and release grief through various art forms. Reiki and various art forms, combined with cognitive therapy, connect one's mind, body, and emotions. Since each individual is different, there are various ways to process and integrate information. I honor whatever methods work for you, and I welcome any question you may have. The cost for a one-hour session is $85. Please feel free to contact me by phone at 210.402.7101 or e-mail me at info@tinakaragulian.com.
