“I was initially drawn to Leah via Instagram a couple of years ago, and I loved her enthusiasm. She offers a well-executed vision for turning your ideas into reality. Leah’s generous with nurture and generous with content.”
“The woman practices what she preaches. Leah moves with (rather than resists) the natural flow of life and is outrageously productive. I appreciate her accountability and emotional support, and would recommend Leah to anyone who wants to make progress, at long last, on executing their dreams.”
“I have so much to be grateful for, and Leah, you are one of the human beings who has been a HUGE game changer for me. I don’t think I could have gone this far if it hadn’t been for your gentle encouragement and beautiful guidance. This has been an incredible year.”
Art isn't just about creating beautiful pictures - it's a powerful tool for emotional expression and healing. With "Essential Art As Therapy For Youth," you're giving your child the gift of emotional intelligence and resilience. This comprehensive guide offers:
I’ve written 5 art therapy books, incuding “The Art of Healing and Manifesting: Creative Exercises to Living an Abundant Life, “Essential Art Therapy Exercises: Effective Techniques to Manage Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD”, and a children’s book, “RAD is SMAD!!”.
My signature program, Art of Healing and Manifesting, supports individuals by healing any emotional wounds and transforming energy to be your most authentic self. I also have other online courses such as the Creative Soul Society, a monthly art making group. I focus on the law of attraction. spirituality, and cognitive-behavioral art therapy techniques. Everything in life is interconnected. I’m here to support you in up leveling every area of your life.
It’s an honor to have helped thousands of individuals find more joy, wealth, and peace in their lives through my books, individual, and group programs.
“Working with Leah has been a great gift. I came into this process feeling unsure, scared, timid, and full of self-doubt. With Leah's gentle guidance, support, and encouragement, I feel more empowered and confident than ever.”
“I have been working with Leah for the last several months, and I am so amazed at what I have accomplished in a short amount of time. I love that she helps me work things out for my business, and I can do some mindset work with her if I am stuck.”
"I'm so grateful our paths crossed! Your gift of art and healing has been so helpful. You helped me get through my avoidance and hold space for my feelings. It challenged me to dive deep into who I am with acceptance rather than other people's expectations of me. Thank you!"

Whether you're dealing with a sensitive soul, a child struggling to fit in, or simply want to deepen your connection, these exercises open new pathways for healing and growth.

I want to send you everything you need to start your child's art as therapy journey right now.
As both a mom and art therapist, I've seen the incredible power of art to help children work through challenging feelings. The creative exercises in Essential Art as Therapy for Youth provide a safe, non-threatening outlet for kids to express anger, sadness, anxiety and more. Through painting, drawing, and sculpting, they develop vital coping skills to navigate life's ups and downs. Art becomes their superpower for emotional resilience.
Absolutely! You don't need any artistic skills to guide your child through these transformative exercises. The book provides clear, step-by-step instructions for each activity. The focus isn't on creating perfect masterpieces, but on the therapeutic process of self-expression and connection. Your child's creativity will flourish in this judgment-free space you create together. Prepare to be amazed by their insights and inner wisdom!
Essential Art as Therapy for Youth is grounded in scientifically proven art as therapy techniques I've used successfully with hundreds of children in my 20+ year career. While many kids' art books aim to teach fine art skills, this book has a higher purpose - to support your child's emotional growth and healing. The exercises are carefully designed to meet kids where they are emotionally, help them feel seen and heard, and nurture a strong parent-child bond. This is art with the power to change lives.
The beauty of art is that it meets each child at their own level. The activities in Essential Art as Therapy for Youth can be adapted for kids as young as 5, all the way up to teenagers. Younger children may need more hands-on guidance, while older kids can use the exercises as springboards for deeper self-reflection. No matter your child's age, they will find engaging, meaningful ways to explore their inner world within these pages.
So many children (and adults!) have limiting beliefs around their creativity. The unconditional acceptance woven into every page of Essential Art as Therapy for Youth creates an antidote to that negative self-talk. Through the playful and pressure-free exercises, your child will begin to see art as a powerful tool for self-expression rather than a skill to be mastered. As they experience the joy of the creative process, their confidence will soar. Trust the magic of art!
The 21-Day Healing Art Journal is a special gift just for you – the parent or caregiver. While the Essential Art as Therapy for Youth book offers activities to help your child, this journal is all about supporting YOU. The content is geared towards adults, providing prompts and reflections to help you process your own experiences, emotions, and aspirations.
