Online Trauma-Informed Art Therapy for Women in California
For women navigating anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, and the lasting effects of painful experiences. We can use art, conversation, and body awareness to explore what feels hard to put into words. No art experience needed.
Welcome! I’m Eunice Lim, LMFT, ATR.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist with over 10 years of experience. I work with women who feel worn down by anxiety, depression, self-criticism, or the pressure to hold everything together. Together, we can explore how past experiences shaped these patterns and what you need now.
Our sessions are collaborative. We might use art to give shape to a feeling, notice where tension shows up in your body, or get curious about the part of you that feels responsible for everyone else. We’ll choose what fits your needs and pace. I’d be honored to work alongside you.

What an Online Art Therapy Session Can Look Like
We begin with a check-in and a shared focus.
I often bring forward something we explored in our last session and share an idea for where we might go next. We decide together what feels important today, with room for anything new that has come up. You don’t need to arrive knowing what to talk about.
Much of our work is experiential, and there is room to spend a session talking when that is what you need. When we notice a familiar loop, I may suggest art, guided imagery, or parts work (an IFS-informed approach). We might notice one part of you working very hard to keep everything together while another part always feels not good enough, then get curious about what each is protecting.
Art can put these experiences on the page, giving us a little distance to explore them with less shame and more compassion. Sometimes a different experience becomes possible in the session. You may feel a little lighter, relate to a protective part with more understanding, or find room to approach a familiar situation differently. We pause to notice what helped and consider how you might carry that experience into everyday life.
The invitations I offer grow from our conversation and the themes that emerge.
We explore the concern in a way that fits you.
How does art-making work online?
We can use art materials you already have at home, or you can try something new you’re curious about. Many of my clients enjoy watercolor, oil pastels, chalk pastels, and markers. During our video session, you can show me your artwork on camera or email me a photo so I can see the details more clearly. We look at it together, and I ask what stands out to you. What you notice helps shape where we go next.
We notice what changes and what comes next.
Near the end of a session, we pause to notice what stood out and how you’re feeling. Over time, we return to the goals we set together and look for changes in everyday life, such as recognizing a familiar pattern sooner, expressing a need, or responding differently during a hard moment. We adjust our work as your needs change and, when useful, choose something small to carry into the week.
