Creative Solutions
Services & Specialties
At Beyond Words Creative Arts Therapy, our services are rooted in creativity, compassion, and flexibility. We offer a wide range of supports tailored to meet the emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals and communities across Western Pennsylvania.
Serving Communities Across Western Pennsylvania
While Beyond Words does not currently operate out of a clinic space, we are actively seeking a location north of downtown Pittsburgh to better serve our clients in person. In the meantime, we offer flexible in-person sessions at schools, community settings, residential facilities, and workplaces throughout Western Pennsylvania. Virtual services are also available for individuals and organizations seeking creative arts therapy and support from the comfort of their own space. Whether we're meeting you in your home, classroom, or online, we’re committed to making healing and self-expression accessible wherever you are.
1
Individual & Group Sessions
Creative healing begins with connection. Our individual and small group sessions offer a safe, supportive space to explore emotions, build self-awareness, and develop healthy coping strategies through the arts. Each session is guided by a credentialed therapist who uses art, music, movement, or talk therapy - depending on your needs and preferences - to help you find your voice and express your truth.
2
School-Based Services & Emotional Literacy
We partner with schools to provide therapy, social-emotional learning, and creative enrichment directly within the educational environment. Our programs support emotional regulation, conflict resolution, peer connection, and expressive communication. By integrating art, music, and movement into the school day, we create accessible pathways for students of all abilities to thrive.
3
Memory Care & Residential Programming
Our on-site programs for long-term care, memory care, and psychiatric facilities bring meaningful engagement to residents with cognitive or psychiatric conditions. Through the arts, we promote connection, recall, self-esteem, and joy by meeting individuals where they are and honoring their stories.

Caregiver & Staff Support
Caring for others can be emotionally and physically demanding. That’s why we offer creative, restorative sessions for family caregivers, support staff, and healthcare professionals. These sessions provide a safe space to relax, express emotions, and recharge. Through art, music, and other expressive activities, participants can reduce stress, prevent burnout, and support their own mental and emotional well-being.
5
Staff Workshops & Professional Development
Our interactive workshops equip educators, clinicians, and organizations with creative strategies for trauma-informed care, emotional literacy, and wellness in the workplace. Each training is tailored to your team’s needs and may include hands-on art or music experiences, discussion, and resource-sharing to enhance team communication and resilience.
6
Pop-Up Creative Wellness Events
Pop-up wellness events bring creative arts experiences directly to your school, agency, or organization. These one-time or ongoing sessions focus on themes like mindfulness, creativity, team-building, or seasonal topics. Each event offers an engaging, hands-on way for participants to relax, connect, and recharge through the arts.

Adapted Lessons
Modified music and art instruction tailored for learners with diverse abilities, developmental needs, or neurodivergent profiles. With a focus on flexibility, fun, and strength-based engagement, we support each learner’s self-expression, communication, and confidence through creative exploration.
