About

Art. Therapy. Art Therapy.

Welcome to Empathic Palette Counseling! ​ My name is Ashley Samson and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, I have been lucky to work with several ages, diagnoses and populations. I feel this experience has lent me the opportunity to navigate group and individual work using diverse modalities and perspectives. As an art therapist, my theoretical roots started in psychodynamic theories and later gathered from humanistic perspectives. Over the past 10 years, I have come to appreciate the cognitive and behavioral therapies especially ACT and behavioral therapies such as ERP and behavioral Activation. I have found that an eclectic approach, with a flexible yet goal-focused orientation, has been the most beneficial for the clients I work with and I am able to adapt to the needs of each practice asking me to serve them. ​ As you can see, I am passionate about what I do and would love the opportunity to discuss your vision and how I might help you bringing it to life. ​ I look forward to being a part of your journey.
