ART AND PSYCHOLOGY HAVE ALWAYS ASKED THE SAME QUESTIONS. OTHERWISE ACADEMY IS WHERE THEY STUDY TOGETHER IN HARMONY.
OTHERWISE EXISTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CREATIVE PRACTICE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPTH. WE BELIEVE ART IS A WAY OF KNOWING. THAT THE INNER LIFE OF A CREATIVE PERSON—THEIR QUESTIONS, PATTERNS, DESIRES, CONTRADICTIONS—IS NOT SEPARATE FROM THEIR WORK. IT IS THE WORK.
OUR TOOLS ARE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND WORKING ARTISTS, DRAWING FROM JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE, AND TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICE. OUR PROCESS IS RIGOROUS, ALIVE. BUILT FOR THE THRESHOLD MOMENTS WHEN INSIGHT IS PRESENT BUT CHANGE HASN’T LANDED YET.
