Art Therapy invites you to connect with your inner world through creativity. Using artistic expression, clients can explore emotions that are often difficult to put into words. This process helps regular the nervous system, build self awareness, and foster emotional release.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that integrates creative expression with psychological insight. It uses mediums such as paint, collage, or drawing as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, helping clients express and process complex feelings in a safe, supportive environment.
What is Art Therapy?
Reduce anxiety, depression, and stress
Heal from trauma and grief
Improve emotional regulation and self-expression
Build confidence and mindfulness
Enhance communication and insight
Benefits of Art Therapy
Art Therapy support children, teens, and adults- especially those who find it easier to communicate visually or somatically rather than verbally. It’s beneficial for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions.
Who is it For?
Sessions may include guided art-making, discussion, mindfulness exercises, and gentle exploration of themes that arise through your creative process. No art experience is needed- just openness and curiosity. If sessions are held with a licensed therapist, insurance can usually be billed.
