Individual art therapy counseling for children and adolescents in Portland, Oregon

Hi, I’m Jessica K. Stumpf!

I provide individual art therapy for children and adolescents in Portland, Oregon. In my 19 years as an art therapist, I've witnessed the power of art-making to build connections and trust when working with young people struggling with a variety of issues. Art therapy naturally complements the creativity that is an inherent part of development during this stage of life.

If you know someone who is looking for this type of creative mental health service, you've come to the right place!

Art therapy can be especially helpful for young people because they may have a difficult time articulating themselves with words. While talk therapy may be a more ‘traditional’ service, art making is an intrinsic way for young people to explore and express their deeper parts in a productive manner. During our individual sessions together, we use the art process to address our goals in a safe and creative therapeutic space that I call Brushfire Studio. You need not be an artist to do art therapy; anyone can participate.
