Support Art Therapy Trauma Response for Children.
When a person lives through a shooting or hears a popped balloon that takes them back to that moment, they lose up to 90% of their neural functioning (verbal processing). Due to this, non-verbal processing is the most effective way to process trauma.
Creative arts therapy allows the people to enter the non-verbal processes when signs of fight or flight fire and identify their experience with image and sound first. The Emerald Sketch’s Art therapists are able to visit upsets alongside clients, guide them in opening new channels of integration, and invite them to organize devastating experiences and live more fully in the moment.
The Since 2013, the Emerald Sketch has elevated the lives of over 1,500 clients and trained over 500 clinicians. This work is only made possible by the generosity of our donors and supports.
Join us today in healing trauma through art making.

What People Are Saying About The Emerald Sketch
“I’ve been drawn to the Neroscientific aspects of trauma and how our brains are affected by trauma. Applying the techniques I learned from the Emerald Sketch training model and from the Roxygen App in my personal practice has been a game changer. These techniques are grounded in science. I feel more confident and grounded in the work I’m doing with clients because of the training I have received from Nicole Porter Davis and the Emerald Sketch.”
— Elizabeth Magazzeni Rinehart
“The Emerald Sketch Trauma Training is the perfect addition to my practice. Nicole is so intuitive in the work while also teaching the critical clinical steps to support the healing and well being of clients. She takes her knowledge of the entire healing process and has created a powerful healing method. I am so grateful for all I have learned from her so far!”
— Elizabeth Kornberg, ATR-BC, LPC
