Costume Therapy

A unique way to explore the different parts of yourself

Dr. Berasi developed this unique form of therapy as a response to seeing how trapped people can feel within how they believe they are “supposed” to look and act in society. Costume Therapy is an embodied and expressive space for those who feel hidden behind roles or expectations. Through playful exploration, we use costume and creativity as tools to connect more deeply with yourself, uncovering parts that may feel shameful, silenced, or hidden. This process allows you to safely experiment with self-expression, challenge old narratives, and embrace the full range of who you are. Our goal is to help you feel more authentic, empowered, and free—so you can live in a way that feels aligned, integrated, and true to your unique self.

The format is similar to KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) in that it begins with one or more initial sessions for intake and to set intentions for your Costume Therapy experience. This is followed by one to several sessions of wearing costumes and exploring the emotional and psychological experiences they evoke. Finally, one to several integration sessions help process, ground, and carry forward what emerges. Initial and integration sessions take place in the office or via video, while the costume sessions themselves can be conducted in the office, virtually, or in carefully chosen public spaces agreed upon in advance.
