Claudia Coenen’s office feels more like an playroom than a traditional therapy practice— and that’s the whole point. In this colorful, light-filled room, Coenen’s healing uses imagery, storytelling, movement, visual expression and music. She calls it creative play. We call it ‘walking the artist’s path.’ Tomato-tomatoe, potato-potatoe… whatever it’s called, creative expression helps restore life back into the living.
