Creativity in Counseling: a Foundation for Relational Practice (WNBC1010)

Presented by the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program

Speaker Introduction by Dr. David Capuzzi

This program will address the role of creativity in counseling (CIC) practice and the means by which growth-fostering relationships can support both client and counselor creativity and resourcefulness. CIC may involve interventions such as music, art, literature, and play, among others, and is grounded in the professional definition of counseling. As a model, CIC involves a shared counseling process leading to growth-promoting shifts in clients’ thoughts, behaviors and feelings. Creativity in Counseling can be integrated along the spectrum of theories and attends to context, a focus on strengths, culture, and the counseling relationship.

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

Understand the role of creativity in counseling practice
Be able to articulate the role of growth-fostering relationships (relational-cultural theory) in creative counseling practice
Identify ways in which creativity can be utilized across theories to support counseling goals.
