Spotted Rabbit Creative Arts Therapy - Brighton, NY

My daughter was a client for six months or so. The intern diagnosed her and made a diagnosis that was completely inaccurate. She is not legally able to make diagnosissas counselors cannot diagnose in New York State and regardless shes an intern The owner did not seem to care which is surprising because this is a reportable offense.If a practitioner is going to diagnose somebody it should do it based off of a full psychological exam talking to family members Interviews etc. Every little detail that can be gained should be. She met with her a couple times and made this judgment call. Incorrect and illegal I think she needs to take psychopathology over again. As a mental health counselor student in a masters program I can tell you what she did was completely unethical and just wrong. Be wary.I have also read another review that had one star and the owners response was very defensive. And she is making assumptions. Very unprofessional and unhelpful. How somebody deals with criticism says a lot about them.

Thank you Sarah for all the beautiful works of art Kaitlyn has proudly brought home and showed off to family friends. From the weaving pottery wooden cat planter benchs tiled pieces of art are incredible and Kaitlyn looks forward to every session with you. She is always excited so proud to see peoples reactions when she gives them one of her creations.

Going to therapy at Spotted Rabbit Studio isnt just good for my mental well-being it has improved every aspect of my life. For the first time after years of trying different therapists with different specializations and philosophies I finally feel as though therapy is helping me unravel a lifetime of trauma and grief. If youve tried everything and nothing else is working try art therapy. If youve never tried therapy before try art therapy. It is astonishing how much you can learn about yourself with a drawing. I work with Ciera and cant recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge of psychology is cutting edge and thorough and she creates a compassionate and comforting environment to unpack in. With her help Ive done more healing in 6 months than I managed in the last 15 years with other therapists.

I have been recommending Spotted Rabbit Studio to all my family and friends Working with Kit has been amazing they are super supportive and the atmosphere feels like you are just in a comfortable creative space. I have learned so much about my self and my traumas and how to live a content life by working with Kit. I highly recommend giving this place a try especially if talk therapy hasnt been a favorite of yours in the past. I have found acceptance and kindness here and would love to see others do the same

pelkey is the only good therapist ive ever had. spotted rabbit is the best

I have received counseling and therapy from Spotted Rabbit Studio since 2018. I cannot say enough about how Sarah Beren has helped me through my development in mental health and wellness. She is a good listener. I feel when I am speaking with her she directs me towards self-awareness. She consistently challenges me to consider what I value and how those values shape the actions I take towards building a fulfilling life. My struggle with anxiety and depression has been harrowing at times. I feel that through our sessions together art has revealed my inner-life and exposed my patterns of thinking. Sarah has helped me understand myself. I am grateful to her for her time and commitment. She has always been professional approachable and sincere. I feel like I can say that because after five years of knowing her she has always been trustworthy and dedicated to my personal growth. If you are artsy and you like animals I cannot recommend Spotted Rabbit Studio enough You will be in good hands and paws.

I cant say enough good things about Sarah and the Spotted Rabbit Studio. I worked with Sarah for many years in art therapy and I still have all of my projects. I even have a few still displayed.Sarah helped me get through some of the hardest times in my life and I am so grateful for her knowledge compassion and empathy. The opportunities to heal through art have been invaluable

I have virtual therapy sessions at this studio and my experience has been amazing. I was very anxious about how to get started but the process of enrolling was easy and surprised me with how seamless it was. Everyone here is helpful and kind Im very happy to have found a place that makes me this comfortable. Thank you

Great so far I have hope I have finally found a therapist that works for me

I have heard such great things about Spotted Rabbit Studio. Unfortunately Sarah Beren LCAT and Director is unprofessional. To be a Director a person should have a sense of empathy kindness and show leadership. This is not the case with Sarah Beren. She has been nothing but combative presumptuous and rude. Very sad my only hope is that the employees who work there and the people who utilize the services dont get the same treatment as I have seen her give those outside Spotted Rabbit.
