Art Therapy for Adults in Washington State

Tina V. Hays, Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Registered Art Therapist

About Me

I’m Tina, a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State and a registered art therapist.

I opened Fresco Mental Health in December 2024 after many years working in community mental health agencies in Washington, Arizona, and California. While I’ve worked with people across the lifespan and in a variety of settings my private practice is currently focused on supporting adults in a relaxed studio environment. I think of myself as a generalist with some specific areas of interest: burnout support, neurodiversity, parenting and caregiver challenges, anxiety, depression, grief and loss.

Finding a therapist can be really challenging. Beyond finding someone with availability, there are many factors that go into finding the right fit. I encourage you to reach out, if it turns out we aren’t a good match, I’ll do my best to connect you with a referral or resource that may offer another pathway to support.

Individualized Support

“I want to meet you as you are, not as you ought to be.” -Virginia Satir

I offer virtual and in-person daytime appointments in an art studio setting. My approach to counseling is relational and client centered and I utilized techniques and theoretical frameworks from a variety of therapeutic modalities. Below are some of the modalities and perspectives I commonly offer with clients.

```
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
```
```
Narrative Therapy
```
```
Family Systems 
```
```
Trauma-Informed Care
```
```
Neurodivergent Affirming Care/Paradigm
```

As an art therapist I won't make you do art, and no art experience on your part is required. I work with clients to find creative insights and solutions based on their unique needs, story and level of comfort with materials.
