PLAY A NEW ROLE
Creative, trauma-informed therapy, training, and consultation for individuals, professionals, and organizations ready to create meaningful change.
Through conversation, creativity, and action, we explore what is happening beneath the surface so you can move beyond simply talking about change and begin experiencing something new.
You don’t have to keep playing a role that no longer fits.
We all develop roles to help us navigate relationships, families, work, and the world around us. Some of those roles serve us well. Others may have helped us once but now leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck.
Change begins when we become curious about these patterns, not because there is something wrong with us, but because we may be ready for a different way of being.
We are all born with the ability to imagine, play, explore and create. But more often than not, trauma and difficult life events keep us from moving forward. The role of creative arts therapy is to help us imagine new life possibilities again.
If you feel disconnected from your own needs, you feel overwhelmed because you are taking care of everyone but yourself, you desire a sense of confidence and you know that imagination and play have value, I’m so glad you are here.
Whether you are coming for therapy, professional development, or organizational support, our work creates space to explore what is happening now, try something new, and expand the roles available to you.
I’m Heidi Landis, a licensed creative arts therapist, drama therapist, psychodramatist, educator, and consultant.
For more than 25 years, I have helped individuals and groups become curious about the roles they play, the patterns they repeat, and the possibilities they may not yet be able to see.
My work is warm, active, playful, and grounded in the understanding that meaningful change happens through relationship…and that sometimes we need to do more than talk.
Ways to Work Together
-
Individual Therapy, Group Therapy, and Therapy Intensives
You may understand your patterns intellectually but still find yourself responding in the same familiar ways. Together, we can explore the experiences beneath those patterns and help you develop a more connected, compassionate, and authentic relationship with yourself.
My approach combines talk therapy with creative and experiential methods, including drama therapy, psychodrama, and attachment-focused EMDR. You never need to be an actor or consider yourself creative, only willing to be curious.
-
Training and Supervision
I offer experiential training and supervision for therapists, creative arts therapists, educators, and other helping professionals who want to bring greater creativity, confidence, and depth to their work.
Through workshops, ongoing groups, and individual supervision, participants learn by doing—connecting theory with practical skills they can use in the room.
-
Organizational Consulting & Workshops
I partner with schools, arts organizations, mental health programs, and professional communities to create trauma-informed, responsive, and connected working environments.
Trainings and consultations are shaped around the real needs of your organization—not pulled from a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Together, we develop practical ways to strengthen communication, emotional safety, collaboration, and sustainable care.
Imagination and play are invaluable tools that can completely rewrite your life.

What might become possible if you tried a new role?
You don’t need to know exactly what needs to change before reaching out. We can begin with where you are, explore what you need, and see whether working together feels like the right next step.
