Welcome to Viewpoint Art Therapy
Therapy for Adults in Office in Olney, Maryland and Online in Maryland, DC, and Missouri
Hi, I’m Aubrey Rainbow.
I help busy professionals step out of survival mode and into a life that feels sustainable.
Whether it’s a lifetime of carrying too much or the aftermath of a single event, I’ll walk with you as we explore the inner conflicts that keep you awake at night and begin making space for you to breathe again.
As an Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and clinician trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I support high-achieving adults in the DC Metro area to step back from overfunctioning, rediscover their needs, and give voice to those needs with confidence.
Therapy for High Achievers
and Over-Everythingers
“High achiever” might not be the first way you’d describe yourself, but if you’re constantly juggling packed schedules, striving for excellence, pushing through exhaustion, and still feeling like it’s not enough, you’re in the right place.
At Viewpoint Art Therapy, I often work with clients I affectionately call over-everythingers: adults who are overbooked, overwhelmed, overcommitted, overstimulated, overanxious, overinvested, and generally just over it.
Whether you’re leading teams, managing families, building careers, or all of the above, you’re likely carrying a quiet, relentless pressure to perform, fix, help, and succeed. That is high achievement, and it can take a toll.
I offer individual therapy, art therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help high-achieving adults in Maryland, DC, and Missouri slow down, reconnect with themselves, and rewrite the rules they have been living by.

Loneliness
Even when everything looks under control, certain struggles often show up for people striving for excellence.
Our sessions are a space to talk about whatever matters most, including:
-
• Feeling overwhelmed by work
-
• Grief, loss, or trying to get through a big life change
-
• Questioning who you are or feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way
-
• Stress in your relationships, whether with a partner, family, or friends
-
• Balancing the demands of parenting with your career
-
• Struggling with how you feel in your body or managing ongoing health issues
-
• Figuring out what feels right for you regarding fertility, pregnancy, or opting out of parenthood
-
• Understanding who you are beneath the roles you perform
-
• Feeling overwhelmed by systemic issues, workplace politics, or the intensity of life in the DC/MD/VA region
What if you could learn to…
-
• face your feelings without drowning in them, or burying them so deep they quietly shape your choices and relationships.
-
• manage anxiety and prevent burnout before it spirals.
-
• set boundaries that actually stick, without constantly overextending yourself.
-
• measure your worth by who you are, not by how much you check off your to-do list.
-
• let yourself slow down without apology and call it care, not laziness.
-
• embrace vulnerability as a strength and use it to build authentic connections.
-
• redefine success on your own terms.
People always assume art therapy attracts artists, but the truth is my clients are the ones managing big lives, big stress, and big responsibilities.
Who you’ll really find in my office:
• Lawyers and other high-pressure professionals
• Therapists and other helpers
• Men who are tired of white-knuckling it
• People who are neurodivergent or late-identified (ADHD, autism)
-
These individual therapy sessions are tailored to help you understand yourself on a deeper level using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach. Together, we’ll explore the different parts of you—like the driven achiever, the inner critic, or the exhausted caretaker—to create more balance and self-compassion.
-
Individual art therapy sessions offer a creative way to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences when words alone don’t feel like enough. You don’t need to be an artist, just open to using art as a tool for insight, healing, and growth.
-
Therapy for men provides a space to sort through stress, pressure, and expectations without judgment. Whether you’re navigating relationships, career demands, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help you reconnect with your values and move forward with clarity.
-
Whether you’re a therapist wanting space to process the stress of the work or you’d rather leave your therapist identity at the door and just be a person in therapy, this space can hold both. Through art therapy and parts work, we’ll focus on caring for you, not your clients, not your roles, just you.
-
If there’s one thing I’ve found over and over again while working with my clients it’s that people are feeling lonely. Group Therapy is a great space for meeting other like-minded, growth-oriented folks in a space designed specifically to foster connection.
Here’s how I can help:

“The task of therapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed. Expression is itself transformation; this is the message that art brings.”
