Maralee Coffey, LCPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC

Experienced Counselor & Art Therapist in Maryland

I am a Maryland licensed and board-certified art therapist and professional counselor. Art Therapy is a combination of talk and art-making used to build self-awareness and process experiences and feelings. I use a combination of art, books, games and conversation to guide children, adolescents and their families towards their goals. I aim to make therapy an engaging and child-centered experience.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents and families through art therapy because of the impact of art-making on my life and wellness. In my practice, I aim to offer a glimpse of hope for families that are struggling and help guide them towards practices and patterns that bring light to their lives.
