Art Therapy & Support for Caregivers
Because caring for someone you love shouldn't mean disappearing from your own life.
You Give So Much. This Space Is for You.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia is one of the most profound and demanding things a person can do. It asks everything of you — your time, your energy, your patience, your grief — often all at once.
Our service exists because you matter too. Not just as a caregiver. As a person.
Art therapy offers you a private, unhurried space that belongs entirely to you — where you don't have to be strong, have the answers, or hold it together. Where what you're carrying has somewhere to go.
Led by Essence Jackson-Jones, LCPC, ATR, CDP — Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, and Certified Dementia Practitioner.
Who This Is For
This service is for adults who are:
Caring for a spouse, parent, sibling, or loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia
Experiencing caregiver burnout, exhaustion, or emotional depletion
Navigating grief — including the particular grief of losing someone who is still here
Feeling isolated, invisible, or like their own needs have been set aside for too long
Looking for a consistent space that is reliably, completely theirs
If you recognized yourself in any of those — you're in the right place.
What You Might Find Here
Caregivers who come to art therapy often experience:
Relief from the pressure of having to verbalize everything perfectly
A renewed sense of identity outside of their caregiving role
Reduced anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and feelings of isolation
A consistent space of their own to self-express and connect
Permission — to feel what they feel, without guilt
