Dr. Maryam Trebeau is a PhD-holding psychologist, artist, educator, and entrepreneur whose work sits at the intersection of creativity, behavioral health, and community transformation.
She founded L'Expression Creative Studios in 2018 with a singular conviction: that art is not decoration — it is one of the most powerful vehicles we have for emotional regulation, interpersonal connection, and lasting behavioral change.
Over seven years, Dr. Trebeau has facilitated programs for corporate teams, K-12 schools, social service organizations, and community groups across Southern California — building a methodology that is equal parts rigorous and human.
Her approach blends visual arts, psychological frameworks, and culturally inclusive design into experiences that produce measurable outcomes — not just memorable afternoons.
"We use art and creative strategies to solve social challenges — improving lives and business outcomes for corporate teams, schools, and communities."
L'Expression Creative Studios is a multidisciplinary creative wellness company operating at the intersection of art, psychology, education, and community engagement. Founded by Dr. Maryam Trebeau, PhD, the studio delivers structured, psychology-informed experiences that produce real behavioral outcomes — not just entertainment.
Unlike traditional team-building vendors or paint-and-sip operators, L'Expression brings a clinical and academic foundation to every session. Every program is curriculum-designed, outcome-tracked, and facilitated by expert artists and psychologists who understand both the creative and human development dimensions of the work.
The studio serves three primary audiences: corporate teams and HR departments seeking outcome-driven wellness programming; K-12 schools and districts seeking culturally inclusive after-school enrichment; and communities, families, and organizations seeking meaningful creative experiences. All sessions are delivered on-site at the client's location across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, and Desert regions.
Structured, psychology-informed paint session designed to improve communication, reduce burnout, and build trust. Art kits, icebreaker, team reflection, pre/post survey, and gifts included.
4-hour facilitated experience with 6 custom theme options. Expert facilitator, optional licensed therapist, art kits, refreshments, gifts, pre/post data survey, and 3-month follow-up. Up to 60 participants.

"The Art of Teamwork." Full 3-day immersive retreat in California with 6+ workshops, licensed therapist, room & board, transportation, custom retreat kits, and a full impact report. Up to 30 employees.
A year-long scaffolded team building program with one themed session per month — Vision Boards through Memory Book. Designed for lasting cultural change. Full curriculum, facilitation, and reporting.
Culturally inclusive, curriculum-aligned after-school program serving up to 100 students. Weekly 45-minute rotating art classes blending visual arts, cultural exploration, and therapeutic art techniques. End-of-year showcase.
Every session is designed by a PhD psychologist using evidence-informed frameworks for emotional regulation, stress reduction, and behavioral change. Not activities — interventions.
Pre/post behavioral assessments, team cohesion surveys, impact reports, and post-event data analysis give HR teams and school administrators real evidence of change.
Programs are intentionally designed to reflect and celebrate diverse heritages and identities — not a generic template dropped into any room.
All sessions delivered on-site at your workplace, school, or retreat location. Full setup and cleanup included. Serving IE, LA, OC, and Desert regions.
Sessions led by Dr. Trebeau and a team of trained artists, facilitators, and licensed therapists. Every experience is professionally facilitated from start to finish.
This is behavioral wellness through art. Every program has defined objectives, structured delivery, and outcomes your leadership team can actually present in a review.
"Our team came in stressed and disconnected. By the end of the session, people were laughing and opening up in ways they hadn't in months. The psychology-backed approach made all the difference."
"This is not a paint party. This is a genuine wellness intervention that happens to involve art. Dr. Trebeau's facilitation creates psychological safety that no other vendor has come close to."
"Our students were struggling after COVID. The L'Expression program gave them a creative outlet and a structured emotional space. We saw real improvements in classroom engagement within 6 weeks."
"We've done team building every year. This was the first time in five years that people were still talking about it at our next all-hands. That's the difference between entertainment and impact."
