About Art Therapy
Art therapy is an integrative approach to healing that helps clients connect their mind, body, and spirit. An art therapy session may start off with a verbal check-in, followed by an art making directive, and concluding with reflection and verbal processing of the art. The amount of time spent in each phase varies depending on the client's needs and preference for that session. Some sessions may be purely verbal and others focused more on the creative process. Our Art Therapist can provide clients with a specific directive or prompt for art making that they feel may be helpful and other times clients may work in a more self-directed way. You are always the leader in your session!
Some art modalities available include; drawing, painting, clay, collage, mixed media, found object sculpture, sewing, digital art or photography. No experience or skill with art making is necessary to benefit from art therapy.
