Who we are

Our Mission

At Manhattan Creative Arts Therapy PLLC, our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive healing space for individuals and families of all backgrounds.
We support the emotional and creative well-being of children, adolescents, young adults, and adults through both expressive arts and traditional talk therapy, CBT.
We believe healing happens when each person's story is honored with compassion, respect, and cultural understanding.

Our Values

Inclusion & Cultural Humility
We deeply value the diverse cultural identities and lived experiences of our clients. As a multicultural team—including Korean American, Latinx-influenced, and European backgrounds—we strive to meet each person with openness and cultural respect.

Safety & Trust
Healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and emotionally safe. We are committed to creating that space for every client.

Creative Healing
Through creative expression—whether visual art, movement, or storytelling—clients can access parts of themselves that words alone may not reach.

Whole-Person & Trauma-Informed Care
We view each person holistically, considering their emotional, cultural, relational, and developmental needs in every stage of life.
