What is Art Therapy?
During Art Therapy sessions, you are invited to express yourself through modalities such as drawing, writing, painting, or clay modeling. During the session, your therapist will lead you through the creative process while helping you explore your emotions and feelings. The sessions are tailored to you and your therapist is experienced and educated in knowing and suggesting the art materials that are best for your situation and needs.
What Art Therapy can be used for:
