Creativity Support is a creativity
coaching
and counseling service for writers and artists of all kinds. I'm a writer and musician with a Ph.D. in
psychology and an extensive background in counseling and the psychology
of creativity. For ten years I've been helping writers and artists
nurture and free their talents, find more direction, and achieve more
success and satisfaction in their creative lives. My clients are people
at all stages of creative development — aspiring, emerging, and
accomplished artists and writers. I can help you:
• Gain more trust in your artistic vision, clarify your
goals, and get support for reaching them.
• Understand why it's so hard sometimes to do what you love and
learn how to make it easier.
• Stay motivated, focused, and productive in the face of
doubts, rejections, or too many choices.
• Overcome "inner demons,"
"writer's block," "fear of success," procrastination, distraction,
etc.
• Find ways that work best for meeting
the real-world challenges of time, money, and the marketplace.
• Build a creative life that's sustainable.
Individual
coaching sessions are tailored
to the circumstances and sensibilities of
each client. Fees on a sliding scale and flexible meeting schedules help make
these sessions affordable for more people. A
coaching
salon is designed for creative people
who seek consistent, supportive, and stimulating contact with
like-minded others. The salon helps artists and writers connect on an
intimate level to share their dreams, their work, and their creative concerns in a supportive community.
I
also offer workshops and classes periodically to address
various aspects of doing creative work and living the creative life.
Here's a comment from a previous client:
"There
are those who help with their minds and those who help with their hearts. Dr. Ressler is that rare
individual who
does both simultaneously. The result was a kind of boost for my
project that I could not have
previously imagined."
