Welcome to the
Center for Creative, Restorative
& Expressive Arts Therapy
CCREAT (pronounced "create") is the vision of Sabrina Santa Clara. With 25 years experience in the healing arts, I provide an integrated approach to psychological, spiritual and physical healing. I see my primary role as educator; I teach people how to come back to the essence of their greatness before they learned how to be someone less than they are.
Creative & Expressive Arts Therapy
I operate from the belief that creativity is inherently healing. I use creative tools to foster integration, health, communication and expression. Creative Arts Therapies promote the integration of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning; enhance self-awareness; and facilitate change. The Creative Arts Therapies include Art Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, Drama Therapy, Music Therapy, Poetry Therapy and Psychodrama
Restorative
A foundation of all the therapy, groups and activities at CCREAT is to restore the individual to their best self. I provide a wide variety of integrated services, and contract with others to provide adjunct healing. Each practitioner at CCREAT believes that in each of us there is something bigger than personality and behavior that has the capacity to guide our lives and create within us an integrated, whole human being. As healers, our job is to help our clients to connect with their own deep wisdom and to heal the parts that get in the way of that connection.
I use whatever tools I have to help this process including psychotherapy, mindfulness, creative and expressive arts, aromatherapy, energy work, psychotherapeutic touch, yoga therapy, rites of passage, spirituality, and anything else that might be useful in that endeavor. A primary component of restoration is restoring a healty and functional relationship with the body, so my approach to therapy is highly body-based.
Restoration is an integrated concept, meaning that I am seeking to restore an individual to their best spiritual, psychological and physical self. I work closely with other medical and healing arts professionals to put together a complete treatment plan.
