Let’s explore

About Andrea

Hi, I’m Andrea Durfee. I am an artist and New York State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist based in Rochester, New York. I believe we all posses innate creativity which opens the door to deeper self knowledge. My passion is in partnering with clients, helping them access connection, expansion and empowerment to create positive change toward greater alignment. Narrative and somatic work, guided meditation, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques are central to my approach. My studio is a warm playful environment in which to safely slow down, let go of expectation, and creatively explore your true self.

So if you are feeling disconnected, lost or uninspired as you move through your day…if you are struggling with self esteem and finding your authentic voice….if you long for greater coherence and passion for life…I can help you dive into your inner world and emerge with deeper presence, understanding and skills to bring with you as you journey through life's twists and turns.

Offerings

Andrea works with a small number of 1-1 clients and offers intuitive goddess painting sessions as well as remote and in-person creative wellness workshops and immersions.

Intuitive Goddess Painting

Intuitive Goddess Paintings are a beautiful blend of Andrea’s personal artwork and your personal energy and direction. In these sessions, Andrea will sit with you and create a goddess painting drawn out during conversation with you about your current path and experiences, leaving you with an intimate watercolor painting that speaks to your strengths, guardians and journey.
