Sessions & Services

Art Therapy for Intercultural Lives & Inner Change

SGM Art Therapy offers confidential, process-based art therapy for families, women and individuals navigating cultures, roles and inner transitions.

Sessions may be short-term and focused, or part of a longer therapeutic process. The format is adapted to the person, family or context.

Practical Information

Sessions are confidential and adapted to the person, family or context.

Individual sessions usually last 60 or 90 minutes. Children and adolescents may work in 45 to 60-minute sessions, depending on age and need. Family or group sessions may last 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the format.

After a first conversation, we may begin with three introductory sessions before deciding whether to continue with focused or ongoing work.

Sessions are available online and, where possible, in person

Languages may include English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

For families living between cultures, languages and emotional worlds.

Intercultural Family Accompaniment

Intercultural family life can be rich, creative and complex. Families may move between countries, languages, parenting references, emotional codes and different ideas of belonging.

Art therapy offers a space where children, adolescents and parents can explore what may be difficult to express directly. Through image-making, reflection and dialogue, family experiences can become more visible, creating space for communication, emotional understanding and shared meaning.

This may be supportive for:

-Families navigating relocation or transition
-Bilingual or multilingual children and adolescents
-Mixed-culture families
-Parents with different cultural backgrounds or parenting references
-Children struggling with belonging, identity or emotional expression
-Families adapting to life in Como, Switzerland or international contexts

Possible formats:

  • Parent consultation

  • Child or adolescent sessions

  • Family sessions

  • Short-term relocation support

  • School or institutional collaboration

A family can share a home, but not always the same emotional language.

For women carrying pressure, responsibility and the after-effects of performance culture.

Women, Roles & Corporate Hangover

This work is for women who have learned to function, adapt, care, lead, organize or perform, often across several roles at once.

It may speak to women in business, leadership, creative industries, caregiving roles, family responsibility, entrepreneurship or life transitions. What connects them is not one profession, but the experience of carrying too much for too long while slowly losing contact with inner rhythm, desire, body, creativity or emotional truth.

My own transition from international creative and business environments into art therapy deeply informs this offer. I understand the cost of being trained to deliver results, remain composed and keep moving, even when something inside is asking to slow down.

I call this corporate hangover: the emotional, physical and creative after-effect of prolonged exposure to pressure, responsibility and result-driven identity.

Art therapy offers a confidential space where the role can soften and the inner process can be heard.

This may be supportive for:

-Women in leadership or high-responsibility roles
-Women from business, communication, agencies, luxury, consulting or creative industries
-Women experiencing burnout, exhaustion or loss of direction
-Women questioning professional identity
-Women carrying both family and professional pressure
-Women who function well externally but feel disconnected internally

Possible formats:

  • Individual sessions

  • Three-session introductory process

  • Short-term focused work around pressure, transition or burnout

  • Ongoing therapeutic process

  • Small groups or workshops for women

  • Inclusive company workshops around pressure, creativity and emotional wellbeing

The image can hold what the role cannot.

For adults and young people navigating inner transition, emotional complexity and change.

Individual Art Therapy

Individual art therapy offers a confidential space to explore feelings, patterns and internal narratives that may be difficult to reach through words alone.

This work may be supportive when something is changing, but the words are not yet clear. Through creative expression and reflective dialogue, the process helps give form to what feels fragmented, unspoken or uncertain.

This may be supportive for:

-Adults in transition
-Adolescents and young people exploring identity or belonging
-People navigating grief, relocation, burnout or emotional overload
-People experiencing creative blocks or loss of direction
-People who feel disconnected from themselves
-People who are looking for a non-verbal, reflective therapeutic process

Possible formats:

  • Individual 60 or 90-minute sessions

  • Three-session introductory process

  • Short-term focused work

  • Ongoing therapeutic process

  • Online or in-person where available
