LCATpeanut Coaching
Licensed Creative Arts Therapist & Coach
Virtual creative therapy and coaching to heal yourself, quiet the noise, and live more fully.
I am Liz Verna LCAT, a licensed creative arts therapist, writer, and coach.
I’m also an artist, knitter, furniture refinisher, indoor gardener, and intermittent yoga practitioner.
I do these things to tap into my creativity, knit the occasional scarf, or justify stretch pants, but it’s also how I strive for balance and calm in an impossible world. I use creativity to channel my anxiety, dig for clarity, and maintain the energy to keep going.
In my practice as a creative arts therapist, I work with individuals who express their creativity in all and unique ways - cookingwritingdancingcurlingpaintingfootballingbirdwatching - because creativity isn’t all about art, it’s about how you engage with the world around you.
I help stuck creatives channel their inner world through the power of artistic expression by offering a safe space where creativity can guide them toward healing, relaxation, and self-discovery. I also help people who feel they aren’t creative discover and direct their creative impulses toward uncovering insights, reducing stress, and fostering personal growth.
I offer traditional talk therapy sessions for adults with an emphasis on creativity as a tool for exploration and treatment. Therapy is helpful when you need to sort through material you can’t quite articulate, and you don’t have to. That’s my job. I walk beside you.
But perhaps you already see the patterns and are tired of watching yourself repeat them. Or maybe writing is already your voice, but sometimes you wish you had a backup singer. LCATpeanut Coaching is the support you need. Our work tracks your process as you take your pen and go looking for your own answers.
