Online Individual Therapy That Goes Beyond “Just Talking”
Transform Your Life with a Whole-Brain Approach to Therapy
When traditional talk therapy hasn’t brought the clarity or change you need, it’s time to try a different path. At Lauren Zeltzer Creative Arts Therapy, we combine talk therapy with creative, evidence-informed approaches to help you access deeper insights, process emotions fully, and make lasting shifts.
This isn’t about “doing art for fun” or just talking through problems—it’s about transformation. Guided creative methods help you break patterns, manage stress, and discover new ways of thinking and feeling so you can move forward with confidence. No art experience is needed—just a commitment to exploring yourself and investing in change.
A creative, trauma-informed approach that helps you process emotions, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
At Lauren Zeltzer Creative Arts Therapy, we go beyond words to deliver real, lasting results. By combining talk therapy with art-based methods, we engage your whole brain to help you regulate emotions, uncover deeper insights, and open the door to meaningful change. This work is designed for those ready to invest in themselves, break free from old patterns, and create breakthroughs that traditional therapy alone hasn’t been able to provide—whether you’re navigating trauma, major life transitions, or seeking clarity and growth in your personal or professional life.

Stuck in Old Patterns
You keep replaying the same thoughts or behaviors, but nothing changes. Art therapy helps you break cycles by engaging new parts of your brain for fresh insights and lasting solutions.
Persistent Overwhelm
Stress and big emotions feel unmanageable, making it hard to stay grounded. Combining talk therapy with art-based tools provides a safe outlet for processing and regulating those feelings.
Lack of Clarity
Facing major decisions or life transitions but feeling uncertain about the next step? Whole-brain strategies help you access deeper perspectives and see possibilities you didn’t before.
Creative or Emotional Blocks
Whether you’re an artist struggling with creative burnout or someone who simply feels “stuck,” art therapy restores flow, confidence, and a sense of empowerment in your life.

Lauren Zeltzer, ATR-BC, LCAT
Lauren has spent over 40 years exploring human potential, beginning as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal and later designing international development programs in West Africa. Guided by curiosity, deep listening, and a focus on building on people’s strengths, she has worked across cultures to create sustainable solutions. A livestock resettlement project in Cameroon sparked her interest in how emotional trauma could be addressed across language and culture, leading her to art therapy—a modality that engages more of the brain than talk alone.
Lauren became an art therapist specializing in trauma, serving at NY Presbyterian/Weill Cornell’s Midtown Treatment Center, where she helped clients coping with substance use and mental health challenges. In 2020, she opened her private practice, working with individuals and organizations to address a range of mental health concerns and inspire new ways of thinking. She also leads “Online Art Lab” and art-based wellness groups that foster community and collaboration, partnering with organizations such as Catholic Guardian Services, The African Services Committee, New York Medical College, The Asian American Federation, and The Katonah Library.
She holds graduate degrees from NYU Steinhardt School of Art Therapy and Columbia University’s School of International Affairs. Learn more at www.laurenzeltzer.com or contact her at info@laurenzeltzer.com.
