About me

My name is Naomi Middelmann.

 

A native English speaker, I have a bachelor degree from Johns Hopkins University, a postgraduate degree in visual arts from the Visual Art school in Basel and have a postgraduate art-therapy diploma from the HETSL in Lausanne. I am a certified art therapist, with a Diplome Fédéral, who is recognized by most complementary art therapy insurance companies in Switzerland.  I have worked 8 years in a clinical setting in pedopsychiatry and enjoy collaborating with various professionals (speech therapists, pedopsychiatrists, occupational therapists, etc). I have also worked in adolescent and adult psychiatric institutions. 

​

I have developed innovative ways of working with adults, children and adolescents by combining art therapy methods, with social skill and behavioral type interventions, allowing patients to find new ways of expressing themselves all while helping to develop emotional, cognitive and social skills . 

​

I regularly update my training by completing continuing education training: Play therapy training, sensory integration training (ayres method), helping adults deal with burn out, etc.  

​

I am currently finishing a Masters in Psychological Sciences at the university of Glasgow.
