Abstract
Intermodal expressive arts (EXA) integrates two or more arts modalities to facilitate development, growth, and positive change within participants. Intermodal EXA provides opportunities for deepened processing moving beyond cognitive levels to include sensory, perceptual, and affective levels. Intermodal EXA results in development of internal resources, expanded perspectives, and strategies for problem-solving. Although EXA has an increasing body of literature, literature is limited for the application of intermodal expressive arts in individual supervision as a unique discipline among creative therapies. This article aims to inform counseling supervisors of the potential benefits of intermodal EXA individual supervision, including increased supervisee self-awareness, by providing an example of the application of EXA’s theory of practice to individual supervision.
