As Lark expanded into the community arts arena, she relocated her practice from Brentwood, Missouri, to a larger, historic storefront location in Maplewood. She continues to work primarily with adult women and men and the variety of issues, experiences and treatment concerns that they bring. She also offers groups and classes that focus on the creative process in self-expression and in dialogue with others. Clients are adult women and men from 18 - 65 and older. Issues range from relationship issues, sexuality, body image issues, mourning and loss, health concerns, and depression to severe early abuses, trauma, PTSD, and dissociative processes.
Clients often find art therapy helpful when they feel unable to articulate their concerns in words.
Art therapy is an action method, which means that the client uses both kinesthetic and cognitive processes to clarify what is being felt. Art therapy is also an exciting way to explore spirituality and creativity. It also offers half-day and weekend workshops periodically. Therapists, community groups, agencies and businesses can work with Lark to develope groups tailored to their specific needs.
