Virtual workshops, consultation, and case supervision for clinicians ready to bring the body, the image, and the story into their clinical work.
Talk therapy is powerful. It is also, sometimes, not enough. There are moments in a session when language thins out — when a client circles the same insight for the tenth time and the body still won’t soften, when grief is too tender for words, when a child sits silent because the only thing the trauma left them with was a feeling without language. Expressive arts and drama therapy give you a way to meet what’s beneath the words. They’re not crafts, not improv, not a bypass of the clinical work — they’re a way of helping the nervous system, the imagination, and the felt sense participate in the room alongside the talking mind.
This training is for licensed clinicians who sense that their practice is ready for these modalities and want trustworthy, embodied, ethically grounded instruction in how to integrate them.
Who this training is for
I work with: licensed psychotherapists (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, psychologists) wanting to expand their clinical toolkit; associate clinicians (AMFT, ACSW, APCC) seeking supervision hours with an expressive arts-trained supervisor; art therapists in training who want clinical perspective alongside their art training; group practice teams wanting to bring a unified expressive-arts framework into their work with clients; and clinicians serving specific populations — children, couples, perinatal mental health, trauma — where talk alone often misses the mark.
What you can learn
Trainings and consultation are tailored to where you are in your practice. Common areas of focus include sandtray therapy (setup, invitation, reading what emerges, closing well), drama therapy and role work (accessing material that direct conversation can’t reach), somatic and movement-based interventions (sensation tracking, breath, gentle regulation), drawing/image-making/narrative arts (quick image of what they’re carrying), and integration with clinical judgment (choosing the right modality at the right moment, holding what arises ethically).
Training formats
Individual case consultation — 60–90 minute virtual sessions focused on a specific clinical question or client. Available as a single session or ongoing.
Group consultation — small cohorts (4–6 clinicians) meeting monthly or twice monthly. Each clinician brings a case; we explore the expressive arts angle together.
Workshops and trainings — half-day and full-day virtual workshops on specific topics (Sandtray for Trauma, Drama Therapy with Couples, Embodied Approaches to Perinatal Mental Health). Open to individual sign-ups or bookable for an entire practice.
Clinical supervision — weekly or biweekly supervision toward licensure hours, with an expressive arts and drama therapy lens. California AMFT, ACSW, and APCC hours available.
About me
I’m Allegra Lucas, LMFT — based in East Sacramento, with 15+ years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and parents. I have advanced training in expressive arts and drama therapy and have been integrating these modalities into psychodynamic, somatic, and EFT-based work for over a decade. I’ve also led DEI and implicit bias trainings for nonprofit and corporate teams for years, so I’m comfortable in both the deep clinical space and the broader training-and-teaching space.
My orientation is psychodynamic, somatic, and culturally attuned. I believe clinical training works best when it includes both rigorous technique and room for the trainee’s own embodied learning — so my workshops are experiential, not just didactic. Expect to do some of the work yourself, gently, in service of your future clients.
