Your Clinical Reasoning Pathway

Move from observing your client’s current presentation to identifying potential therapeutic directions, exploring mechanisms, and developing an intervention. Revisit your selections as new information emerges.

Begin With Your Clinical Goal

Before starting, consider what you hope to support or change for your client. Keep this goal in mind as you move through the Builder. Your observations may lead you to revisit or refine it.

Orientation only — no additional step or required input.

Your Clinical Judgment Guides the Process

BrainPalette offers provisional suggestions based on your selections. You determine which options are appropriate and may select, adapt, or reject them.

1

Regulation Lens: Readiness to Engage

Consider your client’s current regulation state and capacity for therapeutic engagement.

2

Observation Lens: Patterns of Experience

Identify observable patterns and clinical signals. Consider what is known, what remains uncertain, and what may require further exploration.

3

Anchor Lens: Where to Begin

Select the clinical anchor(s) that best align with your observations, therapeutic goals, and clinical judgment.

4

Pathways of Change & Hypothesized Mechanisms

Explore potential pathways of therapeutic change and consider the hypothesized mechanisms that may help explain how and why change occurs.

5

Intervention Lenses: Shaping the Experience

Consider how art therapy principles, materials, methods, and relational context may shape the therapeutic experience.
Informational only — no selection required.

6

Refine the Experience

Make optional adjustments to structure, pacing, symbolic depth, and therapist involvement based on your client’s needs.

7

Your Intervention: Review, Adapt & Reflect

Review suggested materials and methods, develop your intervention plan, and document observations and adaptations to inform future clinical decisions.
