What is drama therapy? 🎭
Katie Nelson, MA, LPC, is one of our incredible clinicians and she offers traditional talk therapy AND drama therapy.
Katie explains that “drama therapy is a part of the creative therapy world, in which theatrical techniques are used” during your session. Think improvisation, role-playing, movement, storytelling, and more!
Drama therapy helps people explore their emotions, process experiences, build new perspectives, and even build new social skills. By stepping into different roles and scenarios, clients can gain insight, find new ways of coping, and safely express feelings that might be hard to put into words.
It’s a unique and creative way to work through challenges—whether it’s anxiety, trauma, or just feeling stuck.

As therapists, we often remind clients that healing is a journey of transformation.
Letting go of past pain allows your true self to emerge, and with that, your preferences, perspectives, and passions may evolve. This is a beautiful part of the healing process, leading to greater freedom and happiness.
Embrace the changes as signs of growth.

Do you feel seen or do you feel seen? 🫠
Anxiety can make you feel like things are about to spiral out of control at the drop of a hat. You can feel overwhelmed, powerless, and on edge all the time.
Anxiety leaves you struggling to make decisions, be productive, concentrate on tasks, or relax after a long day of work.
Anxiety can also take a toll on your relationships and make you less patient, less understanding, and more irritable than normal.
At Lincoln Park Therapy Group, we help you build the tools to gain control over your racing thoughts and learn how to effectively manage your anxiety.
