Picture Yourself Feeling Better

When “just talking about it” isn’t quite doing it for you, maybe it’s time to consider an unconventional type of therapy. I offer in-person art therapy in Gibbsboro, NJ, and telehealth in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Let’s discuss how art therapy might fit your needs.

I help teens and young adults who are struggling socially, academically, or in the early years of adulting. They’re often dealing with issues like inattentive ADHD (possibly undiagnosed), chronic illness, food & body image issues, or grief & loss.

The clients I see typically feel off-track, like they can’t find their place or “aren’t living up to their potential” despite trying. They might see themselves as nonconformist, unconventional or weird – in a good way! However, it’s tough to be different when there’s pressure to blend in, take up less space, or dim your light.

As a teen or young adult, if you’re sad, anxious & frustrated because of complicated, emotionally heavy issues that affect motivation, confidence and self-esteem, maybe it’s time to go in a new direction. I’ll support you to imagine a path forward that allows you to be yourself, make the most of your strengths, and finally start living your best life.

Dr. Lee Ann Thill, art psychotherapist

I’m Lee Ann and I get it.

I really do.

PhD. Licensed Art Therapist. Artist who’s comfortable with messes.

Life imitates art – both can get messy. However, cleaning an art mess is different from sorting through a life mess. Sometimes they’re more than we can handle, even if you have family and friends who support you.

That’s where I come in. I want to help you figure out the messy stuff.

But maybe you’ve heard the saying, “to clean a mess, you have to make a mess.” As an art therapist, I’ll guide the process of sorting through messy stuff using art.

Like everyone, I’ve had to sort out messes in life, so I’m sensitive to your distress and understand the desire to heal, as well as the growth you can experience in therapy.  

Making a mess with art materials – literally or figuratively – can make it easier to process messy life stuff. We’ll make a mess to clean a mess so you can begin healin and start creating the future you want.

Therapy for Eating Disorders + Chronic Illness, Grief, ADHD.

I provide therapy for teens, women and LGBTQ+ folks with ADHD, eating disorders and related food & body image issues, chronic illness, and grief & loss.

If you’re dealing with a combination of these issues, I understand how this can complicate healing. Of course, each of these experiences has its own challenges, but when combined they’re overwhelming – one making the other worse, then the other way around.

I want to help you finally find the balance and self-acceptance that has escaped you. Above all, you deserve to be understood and receive guidance from a therapist with expertise, who wants to see you thrive and accept yourself.

Therapy for Grief & Loss

Grief is so peculiar. It’s a universal experience – we’ll all experience loss – but when you’re in it, it feels very isolating.

Maybe you have support at first, but eventually the world speeds along, while you’re still picking up the pieces. Or maybe you don’t have support at all.

The causes of grief are so varied: death of family or friends, job loss, the end of relationships, changes in ability, life transitions. And for each type of loss, your individual circumstances add nuanced complexities.

I offer space to express your feelings, tell your story, maybe make sense of the senseless, and hopefully, figure out what next.

Specific types of grief and loss I can help you with include:

  • loss or anticipated loss of a beloved companion animal (pet loss)
  • environmental grief and eco-anxiety related to the changing climate
  • grief after death from suicide

My Approach

Accessible: If you’re “not an artist,” you’re in the right place because I try to help people become comfortable experimenting with art-making, regardless of skill level.

Relational: The client-therapist relationship is the best indicator of therapy outcome. This means working through feelings together in therapy, even the uncomfortable ones, to heal past relational wounds, as well as learn healthy relationship skills for moving forward.

Authentic: I show up as me – laidback, a little offbeat, kind of a smartass – so you feel more comfortable showing up as you, even if you’re still still figuring who you are and want to be.

Flexible: Therapy without a fixed sequence or formula, responsive to your needs and at your pace.

Creative: Creativity isn’t just for artists. Part of my approach to therapy is helping you recognize how creative power can both help you heal and help you problem solve in the future.

“Lee Ann is super nice and obviously very knowledgeable. After going through several therapists in online platforms who I didn’t feel good about and didn’t feel like they understood me, I feel like Lee Ann does. I’m happy I tried again with her.”
