SYLMA FINE
M.A., MFT, ATR-BC
Hello and welcome to my practice -
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a telehealth practice in the states of NM and CA.
I have more than 20 years of experience in providing therapeutic, consulting, workshop, and supervision services. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family therapist, a Registered Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), a certified EMDR therapist (EMDR -C), and an EMDR Approved Consultant (EMDR-AC).
Licensing Agencies:
-
California - Board of Behavioral Sciences License Verification
-
New Mexico - Counseling and Therapy Practice Board
Note: My services are flexible and offered in-person and via a HIPAA compliant telehealth system. I can only meet with people who reside in the states of NM and CA, since these are the states in which I am currently licensed to practice. Read the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices here.
If you are interested in working with me, please complete the contact form and we can set up a time for a brief Zoom video call for you to ask me questions you may have, and to make sure teletherapy is a good fit for you at this time. I will initiate our phone or video appointment at the agreed upon time. During your free 15-minute consultation, I welcome you to share what you are seeking in a therapeutic, supervisory, or consulting alliance with me. Your free consult is a casual chat where we can both get a sense of whether it feels right to work together either now or in the future.
This initial consult is not meant to be advice-giving. My aim is for you to have an experience that feels right for you. There is no obligation to continue with paid sessions after our initial meeting. If, in my opinion, I conclude that I cannot serve you best, I will offer some suggestions or referrals.
"I think of our lives as a canvas upon which various experiences (colors) have been thrown or painted - some we like and some we don't. However, there's always another side to 'painting' this canvas - YOURS, your soul, your emotions, your colors, your journey.
This is the heART of psychotherapy." - Sylma
Why Art & Soul?
I listen and help you transform, by paying close attention to the bones of your old stories which provide the seeds for new ones, to build new meaning so that you can become attuned to your inner rhythms. My style is creative and flexible to best provide support for your experience of inner movement and lasting change in your life and to bring to light and challenge the often-unspoken rules that have left you unsatisfied.
I believe in big, bold transformative ideas and curious conversation - this way together and collaboratively we can craft your personal environment and skills to help you grow and heal, adjusting evidence-based practices to match your gifts and growth.
"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." - Carl Jung
