What is Art Therapy?

Individual Art Therapy ~ Art as Therapy

Art Therapy allows for the expression of feelings, conflicts and ideas through the use of art in the safety of the therapy setting. Many times we find words are not enough. Art Therapy allows for the processing of painful memories, thoughts and feelings and contains these aspects safely.
In the art therapy session, we make time for you to check in, to discuss what is most pressing, and then have the opportunity to utilize the art materials at the art table to further explore those ideas and feelings. Each person is unique and you will find your own way to express yourself through color, words and images. Even if you don't know how to draw, making art in the therapy session is healing, often provides greater insight and self-expression, and lessens symptoms. As you continue with art making you will find you have your own unique imagery, things that resonate and hold meaning for you.

Many people come to my practice specifically for art therapy, while others may choose to utilize it as part of the counseling and therapy session.
