Art Therapy

Art therapy utilizes imagination and creativity to express emotions, learn therapeutic skills, process and reflect on trauma or stressors. Art therapy is unique in that it incorporates physical and symbolic components, which promotes communication and self expression when vocabulary creates an obstacle or words simply are not enough. The various psychological theories are applied during art therapy directives while providing a kinesthetic, sensorial, and perceptual experience. Art therapy is applicable to a variety of therapeutic goals, including but not limited to processing trauma, problem solving, addressing stress, self esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, navigating relationships, grief, adjustment, regulating emotions, and self exploration.
