Hello, my name is Shelby Tesoriero-Capone. I am a transmasculine lesbian originally from a conservative town in Connecticut and use they/them or she/hers pronouns. I have been interested in the Art Therapy field once learning about it by going on college tours and seeing Art Therapy listed as a major. After researching the field, I fell in love and have been determined to open my own practice! I have a passion for art and helping people, which is the epitome of this field. Since going on that college tour, I have studied to be an art therapist for six years! I attended St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, NY and majored in Art Therapy, then continued my Creative Arts Therapy education at Hofstra University and earned my Masters. During my schooling I completed internships at various locations, serving a spectrum of people with unique needs. Since graduating, I have been working at inpatient psychiatric hospitals serving children, adolescents, and adults. At these sites, I learned how to be resourceful and provide treatment with limited materials. Now that I’m changing where I physically provide art therapy services, I’m excited to explore various materials that I have not been able to utilize prior! As an individual that identifies within the LGBTQ+ community, I am aware of the difficulty to find practitioners that provide inclusive, affirming, and informed care. Since college, I have taken pride in learning how to create an authentic, safe space for all clients. My approach to treatment is holistic, person-centered, feminist and inclusive. With this being said, those seeking help do NOT have to identify within the LGBTQ community to reach out! I hope to provide exemplary care to a diverse client base. I have availability for sessions on Thursday and Friday evenings, as well as Saturday mornings! Contact me to schedule a free consultation. |
