Art Therapy in Gibbsboro & Voorhees: Not just any therapy for not just any kid
You want to see your kid go to school iand stay there all day, have friends on the same wavelength, and advocate for themselves with confidence, but whatever else you’ve tried hasn’t made as much difference as you’d hoped.
It’s hard not to worry that your child won’t be able to handle future challenges, like jobs or relationships, because they can’t handle small setbacks, like changes in plans. Even discussing why they’re upset makes them upset because they take it personally or proof that you don’t like them.
Your commitment to supporting them has led you here, and you’re ready to try neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming art therapy that can help your child:
- Learn to better handle frustration so small annoyances don’t spiral into crises
- Form a positive neurodivergent & queer identity without shame
- See themselves in a positive light so they don’t assume the worst about themselves when they make mistakes
- Recognize when to ask for help so they bounce back from disappointments
For you, therapy means calmer evenings and more time to enjoy being with your child and the rest of your family. In addition, fewer crises means you’ll have time and energy for your other responsibilities, and maybe extra time for yourself.
Together, we can help your child turn a corner and thrive.

Neuro-Affirming Therapy
In neuro-affirming therapy, neurodiversity is understood as natural variations in brain function that benefits everyone. Neurodivergence doesn’t need to be “treated” like depression or anxiety, so we focus on what works for you and your brain.
Neurodivergence can have benefits, like creativity and problem-solving. On the other hand, it can cause frustration, such as an ADHDer’s forgetfulness. The disabling nature of neurodivergence can be due to pressure to meet neurotypical expectations. In affirming therapy, we consider both strengths and challenges.
In our society, being neurotypical has been the standard, so neurodivergence has been considered “different,” “less than,” and something that needed to be “fixed.” Neurodivergent people have been mistreated, specifically in behavioral health. Unfortunately, harmful treatment still happens, so affirming therapy is a supportive alternative.
As a neuro-affirming therapist who’s neurodivergent, I help people make the most of their strengths to feel good about themselves. I understand what can be difficult, like overwhelming emotions and exhaustion from trying to appear neurotypical, so your child feels seen.
Depending on your child’s needs and developmental level, affirming therapy can include discussion of societal challenges and the value of disability advocacy and community, so they learn to recognize the nature of barriers they may encounter and resources available to them.
Queer-Affirming Therapy
Your child will be supported, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender identity, no matter if they’re out or not, and whether they feel confident about who they are or are still trying to figure it out.
Queer-affirming therapy emphasizes what’s good about being LGBTQ+, while making sense of the challenges of being your true self when faced with thoughtlessness, ignorance and cruelty.
At Prism Art Therapy, your kid will:
- Have time and space to figure out who they are without judgment or assumptions
- Be listened to and respected when talking about gender and sexuality
- Have a safe, private space to talk about sensitive, personal issues
- Be able to practice what they want to say during conversations that feel scary if family joins a session to discuss gender or sexuality
- Have freedom to be who they are in session without pressure to come out in other spaces if they aren’t ready
- Be encouraged to use community resources, like participating in Pride events, if and when they are ready
