Two Therapists
One Shared Vision
Create and Connect Art Therapy and Counseling LLC is a practice built on a foundation of shared experience and purpose. The founders, Christlyn McCaskill, a Navy Veteran, and Casey Frederick, an Army Veteran-Reservist Spouse, met while interning at a military hospital during their art therapy graduate program at George Washington University.
Their friendship grew from a shared love of watercolor, the color blue, Bob Ross, Van Gogh, and mandalas, symbols of calm, expression, and transformation that now inspire their work.
Recognizing their shared passion for helping trauma survivors, they were inspired to build a practice dedicated to providing a safe, unique, and compassionate therapeutic experience where clients can explore, heal, and grow through both traditional counseling and the expressive power of art therapy.
Casey and Chris are so excited to create, connect, and walk alongside you on your path toward healing.
