At Jonna Therapy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Jonna Tamases offers Expressive Play as a dynamic approach to mental health. Creativity can be a powerful tool for accessing complex emotions and facilitating self-discovery. Through movement, voice, and sharing games, Expressive Play helps clients release emotions and gain deeper insights into their inner world.
“Expressive Play allows individuals to explore their feelings in a non-traditional, creative manner,” says Jonna. “It’s not about artistic skill but about the willingness to engage and explore.”
Expressive Play taps into the natural human capacity for creativity, providing a fresh and engaging way to process emotions. Jonna’s attentive guidance ensures that clients feel supported and encouraged throughout the process, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their creative background.
The activities involved in Expressive Play—such as movement exercises, vocal expression, and interactive games—offer a unique way to express and understand emotions that might be difficult to articulate through words alone. This creative engagement can lead to breakthroughs in emotional understanding and personal growth.
Jonna emphasizes that no prior creative experience is necessary for Expressive Play. The focus is on the process and the emotional release and self-discovery it facilitates. Clients often find that this playful and exploratory approach opens new avenues for healing and self-expression.
Expressive Play at Jonna Therapy offers a safe and supportive environment where clients can experiment with creative expression, leading to enhanced emotional awareness and well-being.
