Hello, and welcome!

I’m Shawna Tavsky, an artist, art psychotherapist, and educator based in Mexico City. With a deep commitment to the transformative power of the arts, I work to inspire growth, healing, and self-discovery through art therapy and education.

As a therapist, I specialize in complex trauma with a perspective that embraces neurodiversity and honors different ways of being in the world. My approach is integrative and compassion-focused, combining art psychotherapy and somatic psychology to support holistic, meaningful transformation.

If you are in Mexico City, I offer portraits in my home studio; a unique experience for each person I photograph. This year, I’m also excited to introduce Arte Soma, a space dedicated to art-inspired learning and exploration at the intersection of art and wellness.
