Rebecca Bloom
I received my training in clinical art therapy at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, graduating with a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy and Creativity Development. I am a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and was aBoard Certified Art Therapist for twenty years.
Over the last twenty-five years, I have provided counseling, training, and consulting services in the areas of youth and family services as well as adults struggling with addiction and mental health issues. I am a cisgender Jewish Queer woman. For the last thirty years, I have taught and studied diversity, equity and inclusion work. For eight years I taught in Antioch University’s Master of Arts Therapy program.
I am currently training at California Institute of Integrative Studies to be a Sex Therapist.
I am a Level 2 practitioner of Pat Ogen's Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute work.
I am committed to my own creative process and am enjoying nature photography, wet-on-wet water coloring, and ephemera collaging.
Mochi, “The Wonder Dog”
She's a ten-pound, rescue Chi-Dach-Terrier mix. She is with me in the office most days. Sometimes she's curled up on her mat, or she may come to be with you on the couch. She's always ready to get a treat.
Mochi provides animal-assisted therapy, as she has not been given the training that would make her a therapy animal. Most people find her presence calming and grounding.
Mochi knows that the world is an intense place, and she can help take the edge off even the worst days.
She is very easygoing and does well with children.
