Bridget Kuzma is the founder and owner of Kensington Art Therapy. She grew up in Kensington and is a Maryland and New York licensed & nationally board-certified Creative Arts Therapist who specializes in trauma and supports individuals through collaborative person-centered therapy.

Bridget believes each person has an inner capacity for wholeness and unique path toward healing. Her approach to therapy is to help clients find how they can connect with this internal wisdom. Currently, she primarily serves women who have experienced trauma. The types of therapy Bridget is trained in are especially helpful for clients who struggle to find words for their felt experiences, need help to restore nervous system regulation, and want to enrich their lives through creative inner work. Symptoms that often accompany survival responses to traumatic experiences include chronic anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and varied levels of dissociation. The environment is warm and supportive.

Bridget’s professional background includes twenty years of work with adults, children, and families in settings including non-profits, hospitals, and public schools in Austin, Brooklyn, Manhattan, DC, and Bethesda. She began her career as a therapist after a decade of work at the National Institutes of Health. There she came to appreciate the need for holistic approaches that respect the dignity of each person. Bridget completed her graduate studies at the Pratt Institute and her clinical training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Her experience includes work with children and adults at every stage of life. She has supported individuals coping with developmental trauma, medical trauma, bereavement, grief, in palliative care, and at the end-of-life. She is grateful to be able to bring her expertise and a compassionate healing environment to K-town.
