Creativity Support is a coaching and
counseling service for writers and artists. I'm a writer and
singer-songwriter with a Ph.D. in psychology and an extensive background
in counseling and the psychology of creativity. For over ten years
I've been helping people 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.
•
Overcome "inner demons," "writer's block,"
"fear of success," procrastination, distraction, etc.
• Stay motivated, focused, and productive
in the face of doubts, rejections, or too many choices.
•
Understand why it's so hard sometimes to do what you love and learn
how to make it easier.
• 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."
