Kachina Mooney, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
Kachina Mooney is a Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, and the founder of Go Glo Therapy. Her clinical work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection, creativity, and relationship. She strives to create a therapeutic space where clients feel safe, affirmed, and supported as they explore their experiences at their own pace.
Kachina specializes in art therapy as a tool for meaning-making, resilience, and personal transformation, with a particular focus on grief and loss. She understands grief as something that is often carried in the body, relationships, and imagination — not just in words. Through an approach informed by Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), she centers mutual respect, authenticity, and growth-fostering relationships as essential parts of the healing process.
In sessions, Kachina incorporates a wide range of unique and thoughtfully chosen materials, inviting clients to experiment with texture, movement, symbolism, and process. Art-making becomes a way to build new worlds, revise old stories, and imagine possibilities that may feel out of reach in everyday life. This “worldmaking” approach allows clients to externalize experiences, explore identity, and create space for both grief and hope to coexist.
​
Kachina has particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, migrants, and asylum seekers, and approaches her work through a client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive lens. She offers individual, family, and group art therapy, always prioritizing ethical practice, collaboration, and care for each client’s lived experience.
If you’re feeling curious about art therapy — or if you’re navigating grief and longing for a more relational, creative way to process what you’re carrying — Kachina warmly invites you to reach out. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to take it alone. At Go Glo Therapy, you’ll be met with compassion, creativity, and space to imagine new ways forward.
My Story
Kachina’s path to art therapy began early. In middle school, she came across an article about art therapists and felt an immediate, lasting pull — a clear sense that this was the work she was meant to do. Even then, she knew she wanted to take art therapy into the world and make it accessible to anyone who might need support through creativity.
That early spark grew into a lifelong commitment to showing up for people whose stories are complex, painful, unfinished, or still taking shape. Over time, Kachina’s work naturally centered on supporting immigrants and asylum seekers, individuals who often carry profound loss, resilience, and untold narratives. Art-making became a way to honor these stories when words felt insufficient or unsafe.
At the same time, Kachina believes deeply that art therapy belongs to everyone. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds who are interested in processing their experiences, exploring identity, and making meaning through creative expression. Whether someone is navigating grief, transition, or simply seeking a new way to understand themselves, art therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and imagine something new.
For Kachina, art-making is more than a clinical tool — it is a way of bearing witness, building connection, and creating room for healing. This belief continues to guide her work at Go Glo Therapy, where every client’s story is met with care, curiosity, and respect.

Maggie Hanlon, BA
Art Therapy Intern
Hi, my name is Maggie. I want to offer you the ability to slow down and experience safety, compassion, and clarity when life feels overwhelming and out of balance. I believe that each person is the author of their own story, and that creativity is a powerful tool for reclaiming narratives that may have been shaped by systems of oppression and trauma. Through art-making, I work alongside you to name these forces, challenge the stories they impose, and create space for your identity, voice, and sense of belonging to be fully seen and honored.
I’m especially passionate about supporting women, children, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals as they navigate identity, relationships, and life transitions. Grounded in a feminist framework, I recognize how culture and power shape our lived experience. In our sessions, art becomes both healing and liberating. I want to help you find a way to express what feels unheard, explore new ways forward, connect with a compassionate inner voice, and nurture a healthier relationship with yourself and others. My goal is to co-create a space where authenticity and self-expression are celebrated, traditional roles can be challenged, and your story can unfold with strength, resilience, and self-acceptance.
My Story
My interest in art therapy grew in the complex spaces between panic and peace. For years, I experienced sudden storming panic attacks that would rise without warning and steal the air from my lungs. In those moments, the world narrowed to a single point of fear. However, I learned that whenever I made art, something would shift. The storm would ease, and the clouds rolled back to reveal blue skies underneath. My breath would return. My body could rest.
What started as a way to self-soothe slowly became something much more powerful. I wasn’t just drawing, I was speaking. Art became a language, one made of shapes and lines instead of sentences, colors instead of explanations. In a world that demanded words I couldn’t always find, art offered a gentler vocabulary. Through art-making, I learned to translate my inner world into something I could see, understand, and ultimately heal.
Healing is not always loud or linear; sometimes it can be as soft as a paintbrush. The simple act of making marks on a page can help your heartbeat find its rhythm again. As I realized how deeply art had impacted my process, I felt called to guide others through their own creative pathways towards peace.
My work is rooted in the belief that art can be a bridge between chaos and calm, silence and freedom, between a person and their power. I know what it is like to feel overwhelmed and searching for a way back to yourself. I know that creativity can be a light on that path. I hope to offer others a space to explore their own stories with the same compassion and creativity that helped me reclaim mine.
