Telehealth & In-Person in New Jersey
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
If you’re here, something inside you is already reaching for growth, for relief, for understanding, for a different way of living than what you’ve been surviving.
I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel safe, seen, heard, and valued in order to nourish yourself — not judged, rushed, or reduced to a diagnosis.
I believe your experiences make sense.
I believe your emotions carry meaning.
I believe you are worthy of care, compassion, and support exactly as you are.
Creative Growth Arts Therapy was created for people who feel deeply, who may struggle to put everything into words, and who are looking for a more gentle, expressive, and human approach to therapy.
You are worthy.
You are enough.
You are not alone.
Growth does not mean becoming someone else.
It means reconnecting with who you truly are beneath the pain, stress, trauma, and self‑doubt.
You deserve support.
You deserve relief.
You deserve a space where you can exhale.
🤲 How I Help
Our work together can include art, creativity, verbal processing, body-based awareness, and emotional exploration — always guided by your pace, your needs, and your goals.
Sessions focus on helping you better understand emotions, develop coping strategies, improve mood regulation, and reduce distress in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
✨About the Therapist
My name is Danielle Marino MA, LPAT, ATR‑BC.
I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Art Therapist and a Registered Board‑Certified Art Therapist with over 9 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, seniors, and families.
I am passionately dedicated to helping clients use creative and expressive processes, relaxation techniques, and verbal exploration to better understand emotions, strengthen self‑esteem, develop coping strategies, improve mood regulation, and reduce distress in a safe, non‑judgmental space.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and client‑centered. I believe therapy should feel respectful, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I integrate art therapy with evidence‑based psychological approaches to support emotional expression, insight, and meaningful growth.
Clients do not need to be “good at art” to benefit from art therapy. Creative expression becomes a tool for communication, exploration, and healing.
I offer both in‑person and virtual therapy sessions. Together, we work to address the effects of stress, trauma, anxiety, and other emotional concerns on the mind, body, and soul.
