Sepi uses her own life experiences as an Iranian-American to expand on the cultural needs of her clients.

Sepi specializes in trauma-informed care, addiction, mood disorders and PTSD. She is certified in Motivational Interviewing, and is in the process of finalizing her SandPlay therapy certification. In addition to teaching, Sepi is currently working as a crisis counselor at the emergency department of Christus St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe.

Eliza Buck, Graduate

"This is the place that empowered me to do things the way that I do them, the way I'm good at doing them. I've come to surmise that to be an art therapist; to me means being an artist at therapy so the therapy is the art. The creative engagement with another, with each other, that is the art. "

Renee Borsberry, from Art Therapy Capstone Presentation

"The New Earth Institute of 91�ε� offers an array of educational and transformational opportunities to the community. It has been a rich and rewarding experience, enabling the college to grow and expand our mission of transforming consciousness through education. True education engages and awakens all parts of one’s being, allowing for the integration of mind, body and spirit. It cultivates reverence for life and nurtures us in the journey of the soul.”

Katherine Ninos, Vice President

"It has been an extremely amazing journey; the past two years. There has been a lot of pain, a lot of joy and a lot of learning. I think the thing I've learned the most about this experience is trusting the process."
