Therapy that doesn’t try to fix you--plus creative art classes that support growth.

We empower neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folx, and those who’ve experienced trauma, to live authentically and in alignment with their values. Spotted Rabbit Creative Arts Therapy is a group of licensed art therapists offering psychotherapy and therapeutically minded classes for youth ages 5+ and adults of all abilities. Utilizing a combination of talk therapy and art making we take a trauma-focused, neurodivergent and LGBTQ affirming, action oriented approach to therapy in order to help you live an authentic life aligned with your own personal values. Our therapists specialize in complex trauma/childhood emotional neglect, LGBTQ issues and gender exploration, developmental disorders including ADHD and autism, disordered eating, and dissociative disorders.

Why does it feel like everyone you love will eventually leave you?

Often, the fear of abandonment begins long before anyone actually walks away. When you grow up without the emotional connection you need, you may learn to question your worth, hide your feelings, or work hard to keep the people you love close. You become afraid of being too much, needing too much, or doing something that causes someone to leave.💚

Even when you're loved, it can be hard to feel secure in that love...

With support, you can begin to understand your triggers, recognize your needs, and develop new ways to navigate difficult emotions. Those early experiences don't have to define how you connect with others forever.

You CAN enjoy relationships where you feel connected without constantly worrying about being left. And you deserve support as you learn to feel more secure in yourself, too.

🌱Explore how therapy at Spotted Rabbit can support you in understanding yourself, navigating relationships, and feeling a little less alone along the way. In-person and online sessions across NYS are available. We'd love to connect. Link in bio.

Last Wednesday, Sarah and Kit returned to work with Strong Memorial's anesthesiology residents through another creative workshop.✨

One group explored their “Big Journey” through art, reflecting on the skills and supports they’ll need as they navigate the challenges of their residency program.

The other group took part in a guided meditation before creating their own mandalas, making space for reflection through color, pattern, and creative expression.

We absolutely love offering creative experiences in spaces where people are learning, growing, and navigating demanding seasons of life. Art-making is a way to pause, reflect, and explore what we need to keep moving forward.🎨Keep us in mind for your next event or team-building workshop! We'd love to help your group have fun, connect with each other, and learn a bit more about themselves.

💛Thank you to the residents for sharing their creativity with us, and for allowing us to play a part in achieving your goals.

How much of your life is shaped by who you really are, and how much of it is shaped by who you think you’re supposed to be?

It’s VERY easy to lose touch with yourself when you’re trying to meet expectations, avoid disappointing people, or keep up with what everyone else seems to be doing.

Living authentically starts with questioning and listening to what matters to you: your values, your needs, your relationships, and the life you want to build. For some, no matter the age, it may surprisingly be the first time truly addressing this.
So give yourself time…getting to know yourself is an ongoing process, and you’re allowed to change your answers along the way as it fits you.

Swipe through for a reflection exercise to help you reconnect with what matters most…and start making choices that feel more like your own. 🌿

Art gives us another way to explore what’s happening within us, instead of having to verbally explain our thoughts from scratch when we're not so sure we're saying it right. Through colors, shapes, images, and textures, we can slowly give our inner thoughts a foundation and physical form we can see, reflect on, and begin to understand on a different and profound level.

So, the something you've carried inside for a long time, or the experience you’re still trying to make sense of...they don't have to remain trapped and buried. You may just need a different way to let it out.💚

For years, you may have been told to try harder. To be less sensitive, more organized, more flexible. To stop overthinking and just push through.

Neurodivergent-affirming art therapy offers a different approach: a space to understand yourself with more compassion, honor your needs, and explore ways of navigating life that actually work for you.✨

We offer creative, somatic-based, affirming therapy for neurodivergent folx ages 5 through senior adults, with support around ADHD, autism, AuDHD, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and more.

Sessions are shaped around you. Some days that might mean talking; other days, making art. You set the pace. You don't need to be "good" at art, and there's no expectation that you create something perfect or profound. Our clients have made everything from paintings and soda hats to strawberry drawstring bags and owl clocks.🎨There is no "right" way to create here.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, questioning, or have understood your neurodivergence for years, you don't have to figure it all out alone. Your brain isn't broken. You don't have to fit the mold. You can come as you are.

Our art therapists include neurodivergent clinicians with lived experience, along with training in traditional approaches like CBT, ACT, and creative healing modalities. You'll find a warm, welcoming space where you can feel understood and have room to unmask.

With no waitlist, studio locations throughout Greater Rochester (including Brighton, Pittsford, and Henrietta) and virtual sessions available across New York State, affirming care is close by. The canvas is ready. 🎨

🐧A little purple penguin with personality!💜

Ellie created this adorable ceramic penguin bowl, using beautiful shades of purple to bring the penguin’s head to life as it peeks over the rim. We love how the playful design turns a simple bowl into something full of character!

This little guy is ready to hold little keepsakes, keys, or other everyday treasures. It’s an awesome example of how creativity can turn a charming art piece into something both practical and meaningful--a little everyday reminder of the creativity, growth, and personal journey behind it.✨🎨

As we gear up for another holiday season, we’re ready for a boundaries 101.

The holiday pressure--of keeping everyone happy, appearing cheerful and connected, the commitments--ironically seems to come at your own expense. If you don’t have the energy for it, you're not alone.😊

It can be hard to say no when you’re worried about disappointing someone, hurting their feelings, or being misunderstood. But constantly putting everyone else first is a main cause of burnout, anxiety, and depression.

Boundaries help you protect your precious health AND the long-term health of your relationships with others. They communicate your needs, build more honest connections...and let you make choices that reflect the life you actually want to live.✨

They provide relief in the long run, although you may feel guilty or selfish initially for setting them. And boundaries aren't about controlling other people or pushing them away; they let others know what you’re no longer willing to sacrifice to keep the peace.

👉🏼Swipe through for a little pre-holiday boundaries prep...and remember that you’re allowed to have limits.💚

Save this post for later, or share with someone who needs it. And if you're looking for more support, our art therapists bring lived experience in addition to professional training, so we don't just say we "get it." We live it, too.💛

Follow for compassionate mental health education, relationship insights, and practical tools for living more authentically.
