Deep
Clay is an holistic approach developed by Michelle
Rhodes, psychotherapist and clay
artist. This approach attends to the
metaphors inherent in both studio work and inner process, including
what is expressed through dreams and the body. The goal is
to
activate each person's innate ability to create her or his own personal
growth, healing, and artistic expression. In addition to clay work,
Michelle offers other art materials and
playful modalities, such as role play, movement exploration, and
sandplay, a non-verbal method for all ages, using sand
and miniatures. Offerings include individual or couples
counselling, in- depth psychoanalytic psychotherapy,
Dreamfigures (a
weekly women's clay
therapy group), therapeutic art groups
for children and adolescents, and individualized support for creative
expression. Groups
are small, usually having fewer than six participants. (Please click on Offerings
