Prior to that, Yasuko(Sue) worked with at-risk children and adolescents at Children’s Connection, women experiencing intimate partner/domestic violence and their children at Green House shelter as well as youths at private practice with psychologists. Yasuko used sumi related art to help some of her patients and clients who wished to express themselves in a unique way. Currently, she is working to establish Art Therapy at Claret Center.
