Nydia Channer, ATR

I am a Registered Art Therapist based in New York. I completed my masters in Creative Arts Therapy and Counseling from Hofstra University. My approach is to be authentic in the art making process and allow the art to teach us more about ourselves. I believe in discovering through color in a way that allows a freedom to express our emotions and thoughts.

My therapeutic approach is tailoring therapy to focus on your specific needs that support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. As an Art Therapist and Artist, I have the ability to incorporate creative expression into sessions with the goal of improving cognitive functions, fostering self-esteem, self-awareness, cultivating emotional resilience, and promoting insight. I have been working with children and teens for over 10 years in various settings and what they have taught me is to utilize transparency and authenticity within relationships. I believe that the more authentic the art process the more knowledge we can gain.
