Person-centered art therapy for Muskegon, Norton Shores and the surrounding Muskegon County area — with Amy Rostollan-Hamman, ATR-BC, in person on the lakeshore or online.

A loose map of the shore — not to scale, drawn with love.

Muskegon holds a special place in this practice: alongside West Michigan Art Therapy, Amy serves as an art therapist in hospice care in the Muskegon area, sitting bedside with patients and families to make things that say what words can’t — memory pieces, painted keepsakes, legacy artwork that stays with a family long after.

That end-of-life and grief experience shapes what she offers Muskegon and Norton Shores more broadly: support for people carrying loss, caregivers running on empty, and older adults who want to put a life’s story into something you can hold. Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither does the way it comes out — art gives it somewhere to go.

Sessions happen online, at the West Olive studio about thirty-five minutes south along the shore, and — for organizations, senior communities, and care teams — as workshops and presentations that come to you.
