Amy Ponteri (she/her)

Amy Ponteri, LPC, LCAT, ATR-BC: I've been a mental health art therapist for 25+ years. Currently in private practice, I worked for 16 years in the Emergency Department, including the first 2 years of CoVid. I've taught at Lewis & Clark College, facilitated CE events, and I supervise new therapists.

My hope for these retreats is that healthcare workers get to play and feel seen, that they can be full people amongst peers, and together, see themselves as part of a whole community that requires (and deserves!) care and healing, too. To do that, I bring in science, art, human connection, and a boombox (ok, a bluetooth speaker).

Can't do a full retreat? Follow me @amyponteri.art to get the news of BYOA (Bring Your Own Art) events specifically for healthcare workers that incorporate the elements of movement, play, mindfulness, and community in my Portland studio or virtually, from your own!
