My name is Ellen Bucciarelli and I am a licensed Board certified art therapist and life coach. I serve retires adjusting to their new life leaving their office or job. Often days are unstructured. I help retirees to fill empty time with meaningful days and hours. Self identity crises occur, they miss their co-workers and need to make new friends. Clients fill their time with new hobbies, new friends, new activities, travel and volunteer work and more. We discover ways to uncover a creative and meaningful life. Through art work we explore old feelings and thoughts and replace them with new ones carefully put into place. Retirees future looks very bright after art therapy sessions that work through blocks and other feelings that may occur. Dreams are materialized through the art and talking.

If you’d like to know more about me:

I love my work serving retirees. Being faithful to a job for many years and letting go of your work and moving on with your life can create an identity crises for many. Suddenly faced with unstructured days , with a lot of time on hand, while missing co-workers can be difficult. Relaxing in front of a T.V. can be fine but perhaps not all day long. Making new friends, starting a new hobby ( or restarting an old one), a volunteer job, spending quality time with grand children, travel and new adventures are some of the things we focus on together. I help people to relax and pan a new direction and purpose in their lives. We do relaxation exercises, breathing, meditation and mind and body exercises. while enjoying creative expression. A picture tells a thousand words and art is a symbolic expression that allows us to understand our thoughts and emotions. Art is relaxing and people change through creativity. I've witnessed change in my clients lives through art therapy and expression as well as in my own personal life with my artwork. I love to paint watercolors because it relaxes me and helps me to understand my feelings better. To work with me, no prior artistic experience is necessary. Any art tools can be used or i can supply you with a materials supply list. I have 4,8, and 12-week programs. Let me help you plan your next step and find your creative energy and exciting new lifestyle.
