History
Established in 2009.
AHA! Studio for Integrated Therapies LLC began as a home-based solo psychotherapy and counseling practice. Over the past 5 years, demand for creative, out-of-the-box therapy for children, families and adults has grown in Bucks County, and we are expanding our services to meet this demand for art therapy, dance/movement therapy, music therapy, play therapy, and psychodrama as well as traditional therapy and counseling services.
At AHA! Studio LLC, we believe healing begins with HOPE. We help children, families and individuals find Hope by gathering an extensive history followed by developing long-term goals and short term objectives in a collaborative process with each individual client.
We integrate the creative arts and play with children to tap into strengths and explore untapped resources of our clients. We encourage each person to "tell their story" as a gateway to finding ways to solve previously unsolved problems.
We work with you so you and your family can GROW and HEAL.
