Expressive Arts Therapy
Integrative and Sensory-Based Therapeutic Work with Daniela Garcia
Expressive Arts Therapy at Ground & Grow is offered directly by Daniela Garcia, Expressive Arts Therapist and Practicum Director. Daniela’s work integrates creative processes with trauma-informed, relational, and parts-aware approaches, supporting clients in developing greater emotional clarity, embodied regulation, and self-understanding.
Her work is grounded in relational presence. It integrates creative expression with reflective dialogue, supporting individuals in accessing experiences that may not be easily reached through words alone.
Sessions are tailored to each individual and may include the use of image-making, journaling, breath-based regulation practices, guided sensory awareness, and attention to body sensations. Creative processes are not used for performance or artistic outcome, but as tools for deepened understanding, nervous system regulation, and integration.
No artistic experience is required. This work honors process over product and invites curiosity over performance.
Clients may inquire about working directly with Daniela for expressive arts therapy sessions.

• Feel disconnected from their emotions or bodies
• Struggle to articulate complex internal experiences
• May be navigating challenging emotions connected to trauma, transitions, diasporic experience, or life difficulties
• Are seeking a more reflective and experiential therapeutic process
• Wish to engage in sensory-based exploration
