❥Hello
Hello, I am an art therapist in private practice. I offer individual in-person art therapy sessions for children, teens, and adults.
Art can serve as a supportive partner when feeling disconnected and overwhelmed by grief and loss. The creative process offers a way to express experiences that may feel difficult to hold in words alone.
The goal is not to rush or “fix” grief, but to support a more grounded relationship with loss as it unfolds.
Grief can feel overwhelming, nonlinear, and difficult to put into words. Here at The 3 Brushes Art Therapy, sessions offer space to slow down, express what cannot yet be spoken, and meet your experience without pressure or judgment.
Art therapy offers a different way to process what is happening.
Through the power of art, creative expression, and guided therapeutic support, we work with thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences that may be difficult to describe. This is not about creating art that is “good” — it is about expression, meaning-making, and emotional understanding within a supportive therapeutic relationship.
A space for reflection and clarity
Art therapy can support a deeper understanding of grief and loss, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and life transitions.

Hello, my name is Lindsay Kelly Downs.
I am the owner of The 3 Brushes, LLC, and the sole art therapist.
I earned my Master of Arts in Art Therapy from George Washington University in 2017.
Curious about what the letters behind my name mean? No worries, LCPAT verifies I am a licensed clinical professional art therapist in Maryland, and the ATR-BC® verifies I am a board-certified art therapist.
When I’m not hiking, kayaking, or creating art in my studio, I love spending time with the people I care about. My roots are in Colorado, and I enjoy spending time outside and connecting with nature. I have journeyed and resided in multiple locations across the US. I also find great fulfillment in volunteering locally and engaging in sustainability efforts. e
