PAUSE - EXPLORE - CREATE
I offer expressive arts–based experiences that invite slowing down, attention, and reflection. I work with collage, guided imagery, and related creative practices to support focused, hands-on exploration and fresh perspective.
All art skill levels are welcome.
My name is Martha Hauston, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with more than twenty years of clinical experience. I currently work as a staff psychotherapist at UMass Memorial Healthcare.
I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University, where I studied with renowned art therapist Shaun McNiff, and an MEd in Creativity and Adult Learning from UMass Amherst. My background includes arts programming and curation at the UMass Amherst Fine Arts Center, as well as curriculum design and teaching for immigrant community organizations in the Boston area. Across these settings, my work has focused on integrating creative process, reflection, and human connection.
