Meet Krissy Christofakis - Art Therapist
Krissy Christofakis is a clinical art therapist working in Houston, Texas. Growing up in her home state of New York, she played the drums and danced, but her main passion was always art—and anything she could get her hands on became a part of that art. Her love for art therapy has since taken her all over the United States and across the globe. With nearly a decade of experience, she has worked with diverse populations, including children, adults with intellectual disabilities, geriatrics, and behavioral health clients. In her present work, she focuses on guiding children through their therapeutic journeys and discovering their way toward their goals. Krissy believes the art-making process is a pathway to understanding ourselves, our world, and those around us, as well as an avenue for processing and communication. Through her work with Grounded Gem, Krissy is now able to bring therapeutic art experiences to wider audiences than ever.
