Lucy Baird
“Art therapy is not about making art; it's about making meaning,” - Marilyn AtkinsonLMHC, ATR, RYT-500
Lucy Baird, LMHC, ATR, RYT-500, is a licensed therapist, registered art therapist, yoga teacher, and somatic and sound healing facilitator. She works with people who are looking for a therapeutic relationship but are not quite sure what they need yet, including those who are naturally creative or visual thinkers, or who sense that some of their experiences live in the body but are hard to put into words.
Her Approach
Working with Lucy means stepping into an authentic, curiosity-centered, collaborative space where clients are empowered to take charge of their own wellness while she walks alongside them. Together, they engage in talk therapy, art therapy, somatic approaches including EMDR, yoga, and sound healing, and other experiential practices that help clients feel, express, and release what is ready to shift.
This approach creates space for processing experience beyond words while reconnecting with inner wisdom. Lucy’s goal is to help each client cultivate self-trust, emotional balance, and a life that feels authentically their own rather than shaped by others’ expectations.
What Sessions May Include
Sessions with Lucy are fluid and responsive, and may involve untangling thoughts through conversation and reflection, creating art to give voice to what lives beyond words, practicing grounding or somatic skills together, soothing the nervous system through sound healing, processing trauma with EMDR, art, or embodied movement, and holding space for whatever arises, including laughter, tears, and everything in between.
Who She Works With
Lucy’s primary focus is supporting clients navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and dysregulation. She also brings experience and genuine investment to working with individuals facing life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, career and identity exploration, addiction, ADHD, depression, eating disorders, spiritual growth, sleep concerns, and more.
Her work is always an affirming, considerate, and supportive space for individuals navigating chronic illness, body image concerns, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identities, and cultural differences.
Her Philosophy
Therapy with Lucy is not about fixing anyone. It is about coming home to yourself, exploring what is ready to grow and shift, and building a life that feels genuinely your own. Her passion lies in supporting people from all walks of life who are ready for the brave, nonlinear, and transformative work of healing.
