Mershona Parshall Attachment And Bonding Therapy
Prior to my involvement in mental health, I worked as a professional studio and theater artist. In addition, I created, produced and performed in numerous multi-media performance art pieces in California and New Mexico. For many years I led intensive mask making workshops that were highly popular in the southwest. I used my art and expressive arts therapy skills to facilitate out door experiential workshops. Most recently I was artistic director for the "Let Rachel Speak" production performed in Cleveland, Ohio.
As an art therapist, I work with people of all ages and with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am available for workshops that combine my years of experience in the arts, my knowledge of brain states, creativity and healing.
How many sessions will I need?
The length of training varies from person to person. Sometimes trainee's experience shifts within just a few sessions or realize that they are changing over time when they find themselves responding to old situations in new ways. Often times, sleep will normalize within the first 10 sessions. I recommend that trainee's plan for around 15-20 sessions. Thereafter, a trainee may choose to continue, take a break, or terminate training if they feel they have reached their goals.
For individuals with more severe, chronic and problematic issues, training will probably need to be longer. Longer may mean 40 or more sessions. Home training can be explored as a potential option if this is the case.

Art Therapy: Definition of the Profession (AATA, 2002)
"Art therapy is the therapeutic use of art making, within a professional relationship, by people who experience illness, trauma, or challenges in living, and by people who seek personal development. Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others, cope with symptoms, stress, and traumatic experiences; enhance cognitive abilities; and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of making art."
Many times, art making allows us to express feelings that are otherwise painful or difficult to verbalize. Here is a personal example of grief over the loss of a pet through painting.

Ms.Mershona Parshall Contact Neurofeedback for Personal Growth and Transformation
Neurofeedback is a powerful tool to shift trainees out of unhelpful patterns into more authentic ways of being. Neurofeedback trainees typically experience:
A melting away of symptoms that were once bothersome or disturbing;
A shift away from old thinking patterns, as old perceptions become less relevant;
A greater sense of well being, confidence, and calm.
Neurofeedback may be combined with psychotherapy to support the trainee's personal growth and healing.
