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 and compassionate therapeutic care.

Bridget believes each person has an inner capacity for wholeness and unique path toward healing. Her mission is to help clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost find ways to connect and discover meaning in a supportive environment that offers many forms of communication. 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.

Bridget’s professional background includes over twenty years of work with adults, children, and families facing acute psychological and physical crises 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 and unique needs 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.
