Art Therapy

By providing a safe and non-threatening environment, the therapist invites the individual to express their feelings through a variety of art media. The goal is for the client to better understand themselves through self-exploration and shared interpretation of their own art. The artwork can be spontaneous but may also be directed by the therapist.

Through the art process, individuals can often approach difficult issues and convey a message much clearer and safer than with words. The art serves as a record of these events which the individual can later reflect on and eventually understand with greater clarity. No talent is required, you need not know how to draw or paint, your feelings will provide the creative drive.

Art Therapy Can Help:

express feelings too difficult to talk about
increase self esteem and confidence
identify feelings & fears of emotional expression & growth
develop healthy coping skills
provide a safer avenue for communication than talking and make verbal expression more accessible.
