Check out what people are saying!

I highly recommend InTouch & Motion Therapy. I refer a lot of people that I know to them. If you or someone you are acquainted with needs a therapist, talk to them. It is pretty cool that they do art therapy and movement therapy as well.

I am so impressed with the practice Amanda Mitchell and her team have developed. More communities need access to high quality Creative Arts Therapies as a trauma-informed alternative to traditional talk therapy. This team of talented clinicians brings a wealth of knowledge, talent and compassion to the community.

“We strive to own and get in touch with the essence of what makes us who we are, creating positive growth and movement in our lives.”
