Elemental Health welcomes you into a sanctuary where creativity becomes breath, movement, and medicine. Here, the expressive arts open a doorway—an invitation to wander your inner landscapes with curiosity, tenderness, and courage. This is a collective that focuses on three primary things in a therapeutic setting: creativity, expression, and processing. We are specially trained in the expressive arts and immerse clinical therapeutic practice with the artistry of art expression.
Our collective is simple, we want to have accountable providers who have the knowledge and training in expressive arts modalities and evidenced based therapies.
All of our providers have (a) a license through the department of health, (b) expressive arts training, and (c) have an expressive arts credential or are working towards one.
The education and commitment that it takes to become an expressive arts therapist is something that we take seriously, we want to create ethical practices and a healing environment that best suits your journey.
Emobody your creativity!

WHO WE ARE (OUR ETHOS) AND OUR STORY
At Elemental Health, we honor our responsibility as stewards of the lands on which we live and practice. We acknowledge the First Nations and Indigenous peoples who have cared for these lands since time immemorial, and we recognize their enduring presence, wisdom, and sovereignty.
We also recognize that many individuals and communities continue to face marginalization, discrimination, and systemic barriers to care. Our commitment is to create a therapeutic environment where every person is welcomed, respected, and supported in their unique needs and lived experiences.
We affirm the dignity and rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and we strive to cultivate a space where all identities can be expressed safely and authentically. Our practice is grounded in inclusivity, cultural humility, and a deep belief in the healing potential of creative expression.
In all that we do, we aim to foster a community rooted in compassion, equity, and belonging.
At Elemental Health, we honor creativity as a living force—one that can soften, illuminate, and transform. Within our therapeutic spaces, art becomes a gentle companion, offering shape and color to emotions that may be difficult to name.
Our therapists cultivate a sanctuary where you can explore your inner world with curiosity and safety. Through image, movement, sound, and story, we weave together expressive arts and evidence‑based practice to nurture authenticity, self‑discovery, and emotional growth.
Each approach is crafted with intention, inviting you to reconnect with your inner wisdom and uncover new pathways toward healing. Here, your creative voice leads the way, guiding you toward deeper understanding and a more grounded sense of self. We approach healing through a holistic lens, weaving together the steadiness of traditional therapeutic practices with the vitality of creative arts. This integrative path allows each person’s unique needs, rhythms, and stories to be met with care and intention.
By inviting creativity into the process, therapy becomes a space of exploration—where emotions can be expressed through color, movement, sound, and symbol, and where deeper understanding can unfold naturally. In this blend of structure and imagination, the healing journey becomes both comprehensive and deeply enriching, offering room for authenticity, insight, and transformation.
This is our creative collective, a gathering place where the expressive arts are not just practiced but lived. Here, we tend to the growing field of creative healing like a shared garden—each voice, each story, each gesture adding its own color to the landscape.
Our mission is simple and sacred: to center healing through the arts, so that every person who enters our circle has the chance to flourish. We are therapists woven across the state of Washington, offering our presence in studios, offices, natural spaces, and through the quiet glow of telehealth—meeting you wherever you are.
Together, we nurture a community where imagination becomes medicine, connection becomes art, and thriving becomes a shared possibility.
