Creative Expressions for Recovery Group

Therapy Group for Trauma, Self-Worth, and Body Image Healing — Winter Park, FL

Expressive arts through journaling to heal the inner child

A Therapeutic Space to Heal, Connect, and Express

You’ve done so much work to heal and grow, but something still feels like it’s missing. Maybe you’re carrying lingering self-doubt, struggling to feel at home in your body, or navigating the deeper layers of self-worth.

If you’re looking for a space to step outside old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and be surrounded by like-minded peers who truly understand, you’ve come to the right place.

Through creative arts, parts work, and a trauma-informed approach, we’ll explore new ways to express, understand, and care for the parts of you that need the most compassion.

✔ Explore your thoughts and emotions in expressive and creative ways
✔ Feel less alone in your recovery journey
✔ Move beyond the mental, emotional, and physical overwhelm
✔ Discover who you are outside of your past experiences

Meet the Facilitators!

Hey there! I’m Samantha Bickham, LMHC—your guide, fellow explorer, and occasional messy artist in this space of creative self-expression!

I believe creativity is a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and connection. Whether through art, writing, movement, or just playing with ideas.

As a therapist, I love blending playful exploration with deep, meaningful work. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me lost in a good fantasy book, experimenting with a new craft, or playing with my two kiddos.

Hi, I’m Jenelle Coolidge, LMHC—therapist, poet, comic book enthusiast, and firm believer in the magic of creativity.

For me, writing—especially poetry—has always been a way to make sense of the world, and I love helping others find their own creative outlets. Whether through words, art, or storytelling, self-expression is such a powerful tool for healing and growth. When I’m not diving into a good comic or geeking out over Marvel, you’ll find me spending time with my kids, soaking up their endless imagination.

This group is not about being “good at art” or “having all the answers.” It’s about exploring, expressing, and growing alongside others who truly get it.

To ensure this group is a good fit for you, we’ll schedule a brief, consultation call where we can learn more about your journey, answer any questions, and make sure this space meets your needs.
