Compassionate Support for Mind, Body, and Spirit
Online Creativity Coaching and Art Therapy
Shannon Nahara MA, LPC, MFA
Welcome to a supportive space of self-discovery where healing unfolds through creativity and imagination.
My foundation is in art therapy and counseling, and my current focus in working with others centers around creativity coaching, which allows you to access inner resources and explore your ideas and emotions through art-making. I will guide you in expressing yourself in ways that are personally meaningful and transformative.
I am experienced in helping people tap into deeper aspects of themselves by connecting with their own revitalizing imagery and symbols. Together, we’ll gently uncover pathways that allow you to awaken a greater sense of harmony and purpose.
The soul speaks in images, and your creative work can illuminate new perspectives, foster insight, and bring a deeper sense of purpose and joy into everyday life.
I support people in learning how to listen to their inner voice, to touch into moments of awareness and presence, and to find their own unique path to wholeness.

“Just as the acorn gives instructions to the oak about how to grow and what to become, the human soul carries an image or a vision that shows us how to grow what gift we carry…the nature of our true life.”
