Patient Letters to Bonnie
"Making art is truly healing and livening. Bonnie’s guided meditations calmed me enough to allow unconscious and overwhelming feelings to surface without overwhelming me. Her art directives encouraged creative thinking and the process was cathartic. After sessions, I was inspired to write poems. I highly recommend these groups to anyone struggling with creative/writer’s block". - Kathryn Moreno, artist & art therapist

"Bonnie's virtual art therapy group was a highly effective way for me to tap into the wisdom of my subconscious mind using the healing power of creative expression." -Gina Marie
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bonnie Hirschhorn's approach to the creative process encourages us to experience the creative playful spirit in each of us- she shows us that creativity is part of a beautiful and liberating conversation with the self."
Ian Vollmer, Cinematographer

Dear Bonnie,
Thank you for helping us create and maintain a healthy marriage over the past year. You supported and believed in our marriage when we thought nothing could save us. You not only taught us how important effective communication is, but how to do this lovingly through Imago therapy.
We are now happier and stronger than we ever imagined possible. We owe it all to you for saving our marriage. We cannot thank you enough!
With Gratitude,
Couple
Joanna & Kris

"I signed up for Bonnie Hirschhorn's art therapy workshop and it was so much more than I expected. I gained more self awareness and how to deal with my difficult feelings and the changes in my life due to COVID. The guided meditations that she led, helped me create artwork from a deeper level and helped me to heal some of my family relationships. I have not seen my daughter in a few months and after sharing one of my experiences in the group to a family member, my daughter called me to invite me over to visit her. I was moved to tears. I am so glad that I set aside the time to take Bonnie's art therapy workshop. Investing in self care and having a safe and creative way to deal with my feelings is important and the convenience of the zoom sessions made it possible. Therefore, I would be happy to continue". Retired Research Scientist, Wednesday morning group participant

Dear Bonnie,
Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have worked with you over these past few years. You came into my life at my darkest stage and because of your guidance, warmth, knowledge and patience, you have helped me to learn and discover that a world outside of bulimia is more than a possibility. You have touched me in a way that I did not know was possible and you and I together have worked so harmoniously in this recovery.You are incredible at what you do. I'm sure your list of those who you have helped to recover is quite long and I thank you for helping me to add my name that special list.
Always,

"Dearest Bonnie,
Thank you so very much for your kind understanding & sensitive ability to listen. I attribute so much of my progress over the past two years to you. I realize now that I cannot control everything & that life is not black & white, but I am responsible for myself & my actions. This is the key. Your efforts (and mine) have really paid off- but there is always more to learn. Thanks to you, I now I feel equipped for the challenges that lie ahead.
Thank you ever so much.
With love,"

"Bonnie,
There are no words for how I feel about you. You have helped me in so any ways. You are officially the first person to help me take my wall down - and that huge step in this recovery opened the door to my own life. I think you are amazing. You have helped me to do what I thought was impossible. I love our relationship for that and for many other reasons."
