Ellie Mental Health – La Vista (elliementalhealth.com) began offering art therapy as a service to clients in July 2025 with the hiring of Jocelyn Polacek, a provisionally licensed mental health practitioner and art therapist.

Art therapy provides a non-verbal outlet for communication, making it especially valuable for individuals who find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings through words alone. The
therapy supports individuals of all ages and fosters self-awareness, promotes emotional healing and encourages personal growth in a safe, supportive environment.

Through the creative process, clients can freely express themselves, process emotions and work through psychological challenges. Art therapy can help individuals gain insight, boost self-esteem and develop healthier coping mechanisms, ultimately supporting overall emotional and psychological well-being.

Ellie Mental Health – La Vista provides a structured and supportive environment for clients to explore these therapeutic benefits. Art therapy sessions are available for individuals seeking alternative methods of emotional expression and personal growth.

Appointments can be scheduled online at (elliementalhealth.com) or by calling Jocelyn Polacek directly at (402) 645-1889.
