Austin Art Therapy
Mandy Rutherford, LCSW-S REAT CCTP REACE
With over twenty years of experience working with individuals, couples and families, art therapy, expressive arts therapies - and most recently, equine assisted psychotherapy - my goal is to work with you to meet your wellness needs. I want you to leave your session feeling better, breathing a little deeper and remembering your Self.
So often, too often, we forget all about the Self.
Traumatic Stress + Compassion Fatigue
If you or someone you love is feeling the stress of the job backing up on them - reach out.
Helping those who serve or have served find effective, evidence-based approaches to managing trauma and traumatic stress, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, or creeping burn-out is my priority
Experienced + Knowledgeable
Not familiar with the different types of therapies? No problem! Schedule a Consult and we'll figure out what works for you.
Using the creative process during therapy is an excellent method to cut through the language barrier. Word-based communcation is fraught with miscues, misunderstandings and misjudgements.
Therapy + Supervision + Training + Advocacy
After working in a variety of different settings: psychiatric hospital, agency and traditional office settings, I'm now seeing clients on a beautiful horse ranch in Leander, Texas.
At the Ranch, we're committed to:
Providing a sensory-rich, therapeutic environment
Supervising aspiring LCSWs and REATs
Training clinicians to incorportate art- and image-based approaches to therapy in a clinical setting
Advocating for evidence-based experiential modalities to be covered benefits for Active Military, Veterans and First Responders
