Betsy Lazarus Rouse
Creative Arts Therapist -
I am a New York State licensed Creative Arts Therapist with over 25 years experience. My passion for creating images evolved into exploring, understanding, and healing the inner life. I bring this guiding principle to every client centered therapeutic encounter. Psychotherapy helps our ability to cope with today’s unprecedented and ongoing stressors in a continually changing landscape. Art therapy specifically improves cognitive functions, fosters self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivates emotional resilience, promotes insight, enhances social skills, reduces and resolves conflicts and distress. Using a visual language of color, line, symbols and metaphors in a free and playful environment gives voice to our innate desire for wholeness and stability.For individuals seeking treatment for attention and focus deficits, stroke, dementia, brain injury, and the anxiety and depression mood states that frequently accompany these life changing events, I offer Neuro Art Therapy, a unique and effective approach . I am available to support spouses, partners and families, empowering them to face the challenges of caring for affected individuals.
