Artxpressive, Art Therapy Therapy using traditional art together with new tech such as vr painting. Debra Irizarry ATR-BC, LCAT Fine artist, Digital artist, Art Therapist Debra Irizarry.

My goal is to help people empower themselves with the use of multimedia and traditional art. I’ve had six years working at clinical settings developing a myriad of directives for groups and individual sessions. I have learned to develop a voice of my own using narrative psychology inspired directives. According to the American Psychological Association,
“The tales we tell hold powerful sway over our memories, behaviors and even identities, according to research from the burgeoning field of narrative psychology”. When people turn episodes from their lives into anecdotes, it’s not just to entertain friends. Stories allow us to make sense out of otherwise puzzling or random events. "Stories help us smooth out some of the decisions we have made and create something that is meaningful and sensible out of the chaos of our lives.” (Retrieved on November 23, 2014 from http://www.apa.org/
