Find Your Community & Strengthen Your Wellness!
Creativity Lab
Feeling a little stiff, stuck, or stale? The Creativity Lab is a free 6-week virtual group for adults who want to add a touch of playfulness to their lives. It’s not a yoga group or an art class, but we will use light movement and creative experiments to help us find safety in trying new things and joy in not being perfect.
Each week, we will explore one of six playful words: Listen, Loosen, Lighten, Leap, Lark, and Launch—designed to spark fresh ideas and invite more creativity into everyday life.
If “letting loose” sounds a little scary, know that this group is all about gentle invitations and honoring your own pace. No prior experience necessary.
A short supply list will be sent to you before we begin so you can be ready for our creative experiments.
Come join us on Wednesdays from 12:30-1:30 starting September 10th for a little lift in your day!
About Group Leader, Mindy Van Wart : Resident in Counseling & Provisional Art Therapist
Hi there, I’m Mindy (she/her), a Resident in Counseling and Provisional Art Therapist. I am trained in trauma-informed art therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and sand tray therapy, with a foundation in person-centered, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches.
I love helping clients explore their inner world through creative expression. Using color, shape, and texture alongside words can deepen insight and open new ways to express what lives inside.
Life can pull us away from our feelings, desires, and truth. In therapy, I strive to offer a safe, supportive relationship that helps clients reconnect with what’s trustworthy within themselves. Feeling seen, validated, and celebrated is at the heart of my work.
My specialties include grief and loss, codependency, religious trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

We look forward to supporting you!

About Group Leader, Shannon Wise, Mm, ms : Resident in Counseling
Hi there, I’m Shannon, a Resident in Counseling with master’s degrees in vocal performance and pastoral counseling. I offer a spiritually inclusive and affirming space for individuals, couples, and groups, and I honor the sacred worth and diversity of all people.
I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
As a parent of three, I understand the complexities of parenting, relationships, and life transitions. The arts have been a grounding source of strength, healing, and self-expression for me—especially during times of change—and I often integrate creative approaches into my work with clients. I aim to help people find meaning, build resilience, and reconnect with their inner strengths in seasons of uncertainty or growth.
I specialize in supporting clients with stress, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, life transitions, parenting, family and marital concerns, career and identity discernment, spiritual exploration, religious trauma, and the unique challenges of the sandwich generation.
