(She/Her)
Art Therapy Student Intern
Hello, I’m Kadyn. I’m an art therapy student intern at Full Spectrum Therapy, and I’m glad you’re here! I am completing my master’s in art therapy and clinical mental health counseling at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Together we can use artistic expression to support you living as your authentic self.
As a neurodivergent person with chronic health issues and alter-abilities, I am experienced in navigating changing bodies and lifestyles, coping with stressors related to health and physical changes, and the U.S. healthcare system. Being a human can be hard. I am here to help through creative expression.
In my experience working with folks of all ages and varying abilities, I have seen how art and genuine human connection can significantly improve quality of life. I emphasize trauma-informed care and the collaborative process, and I believe people grow through and toward connection. I have experience supporting LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive students in public school systems and consider the systemic and cultural influences that contribute to people’s lived experiences.
What is art therapy?
You don’t need to be an artist to participate in art therapy, you don’t even need to be “good” at art. Art therapy utilizes the process of artmaking and a variety of materials to promote insight, cope with anxiety, cultivate emotional resilience, explore identity, and more.
As a student, I am supervised by Sarah Abramovitz ATR-BC, LCAT, LPC, and Kris Bella LCAT, ATR-BC, ATCS.
