Zoe Shulman (she/they) is a student therapist currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling with a Psychedelic Studies certificate at Southwestern College. She is primarily interested in treating adults struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, life transitions, career and identity development, or social injustice.
As a budding art therapist, Zoe has developed her therapeutic repertoire to embrace theoretical approaches such as the expressive therapies continuum, psychedelic-assisted therapy, Jungian psychoanalysis, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing (OARS), and somatic bodywork (i.e., yogic breathing, body scanning, bottom-up emotional processing, and mindfulness meditation).
She aspires to facilitate clients’ engagement in art directives that can reveal the psyche’s archetypes and parts, reframe cognitive distortions, write new healthy life narratives, and regulate the body’s nervous system. Ultimately, Zoe believes altered states of consciousness, whether induced by psychoactive substances or creative flow states, can provide the neuroplasticity necessary to cultivate resilience and view life from new empowering perspectives.
