About Trudy Willadson
Spirits in the Wind Studio

Hello, my name is Trudy Willadson.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Registered Art Therapist - Board Certified

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

I started my career as a therapist working in California in a variety of agencies where I gained extensive clinical experience in both individual and group therapy. I have enjoyed working with a diverse population of adults, adolescents, and children with a wide spectrum of concerns (including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and trauma). I started a private practice in 2009 where I could utilize my skills as an Art Therapist at a deeper level.

Education 

I earned a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy as well as in Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California in 2004.  I have had extensive training and experience in working with a variety of populations and diagnosis.  My passion for working with clients utilizing Art Therapy techniques initially drew me toward opening a private practice.  The opportunity to help people transition through life's challenges is a rewarding experience. I utilize a variety of techniques as they apply to each individual client. This allows me to tailor the therapy around the needs of the client, giving them the opportunity to grow as therapy progresses.
