Group of people working on art projects at a Healing Through Creativity workshop

Dive into visual arts, writing, and group dialogue with Pamela Hayes Malkoff, to explore the fears holding you back and empower you with tools for lasting change.

Pamela Hayes Malkoff explains how she guides you deep into your subconscious while making art.

Whether you're seeking personal clarity, professional tools, or creative inspiration, this is an opportunity to work directly with Pamela Hayes Malkoff, the founder of the Creative Cognitive Therapy Method, a unique blend of art therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

This innovative method offers a practical, compassionate framework for emotional healing, self-discovery, and the reduction of anxiety and depression. In this interactive workshop, explore your own fears, limiting beliefs, and internal roadblocks through creative and therapeutic exercises.

Through drawing, painting, collage, guided writing, motivational prompts, and meaningful dialogue guided by Pamela, you uncover new insights and build a toolkit for navigating life's emotional challenges.

This hands-on experience invites curiosity, vulnerability, and play. Expect to:

  • Bring your inner monster to life through art and then engage with it through conversation to gain clarity and understanding
  • Delve into themes of control, shifting perspectives, and transformation through the power of poetry
  • Draw your own emotional landscape and gain practical tools to continue your healing journey long after our time together
  • Compose your personal Declaration of Independence (to free yourself from what keeps you stuck) and collage your flag representing your new state of mind

Expect deep conversations, powerful breakthroughs—and plenty of joy and laughter along the way.
