Creative and Performing Artists
We Love Artists!
We understand you may have been drawn into your art as a calling, a sense that little else professionally lights you up as much as your art.
Success in your field requires constant vigilance, in both maintaining an awareness of yourself in your work, and continuing to sharpen your skills. Sometimes the demands of a creative life, especially when your income depends on it, can become physically and mentally exhausting. Sometimes you may find yourself wondering why you even chose this life path.
It’s common for artists to experience mental roadblocks that can interfere with their performance, creativity, and ability to advance their careers.
You are probably also all too aware that artists are prone to perfectionism, self-doubt, and feeling like an imposter. At all echelons of the arts, from A-list celebrities to emerging young artists, the highs of your profession can be wonderful, and the lows can be heartbreaking. We also understand that is part of life in the arts.
Reframing your creative life
Therapists at Inside Psychotherapy understand that being an artist is so much more than just a job, but a big part of your identity. Society has expectations that artists are broke, suffering, struggling, mentally ill, or addicted.
We don’t buy that!
At Inside Psychotherapy, we believe artists can be talented, prolific, successful, inspired, and mentally and physically well.
Your career requires heavy demands with training, creating, promoting, and coping with a lot of rejection. Psychotherapy can help you develop tools to maintain or restore balance through the ups and downs of an artistic career.
