Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Arts Therapy is a therapeutic approach that can help patients align with their counseling journey and explore their deeper emotions through 'hand-on' methods. The process invites comfort, openness, and expression of Self through the vehicle of art. Being an 'artist' is not required.

ART THERAPY
Art therapy is an integrative approach that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active artmaking. People of all ages can benefit from the creative process. It engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation. We specialize in the creative process and how it facilitates healing.
Art therapy is available for all people and for all types of presenting challenges. The experience involves creating artwork, reflecting on the artwork, and connecting to personal insights. Creating artwork can help someone understand how they process their emotions. When reflecting on the artwork, a therapist guides individuals to explore their feelings or sensations associated with the work. Art therapy is a great way for younger patients to feel more comfortable about the counseling process.
Therapy is within a trust-based and non-judgmental environment that promotes freedom of expression and freedom of emotion. You do not have to be an artist to do art therapy. The art is simply the medium to connect with one's Self, with growing understanding and acceptance.
