Testimonials
“I can highly recommend Lasse Topbjerg Storgaard as an emerging art therapist. Last week, I was under his expert guidance and managed to break through my creatively stagnant energy, which is now bubbling with new inspiration and motivation to dive into the healing that creativity has been for me throughout my life. I brought forth an image of a liberating feeling I had long yearned for but didn’t know where to find within myself. We discovered it together through a technique Lasse taught me, and I look forward to continuing to work with that motif and others in the future”

“I can highly recommend Lasse as a teacher. Perhaps "teacher" doesn't quite cover it, as Lasse has been more than a teacher to me. I started with Lasse because I had a strong desire to express myself. From dreams and meditations, I had motives and scenes that I felt a great urge to express. However, I experienced a significant barrier in getting these motives onto a canvas, and I wanted a mentor who could help me bring them out. The motives were so strong, and I had a deep need to be in them, realize them, and perhaps understand them better through the painting process. Therefore, I wanted to improve my skills and delve into the more technical elements of painting to be in the process and, at the same time, have the best possible way to express the experienced inner images. This is why Lasse was more than a teacher. He was and is more of a mentor, a conversation partner, and at the same time, a dynamic and inspiring teacher. I am deeply grateful for my journey with Lasse, and it’s not over. Lasse is the one I turn to when I need a mentor to start a painting process or when I just want to be in a safe and inspiring space where painting and conversation can simply flow and unfold.”
