Art-Based Therapy

The way you tell your story can make all the difference.

Why might I choose art-based therapy?

Art-based therapy provides a creative way for individuals to express emotions and process feelings. It is often chosen when traditional talk therapy feels insufficient, allowing for exploration of feelings without the need for direct verbal articulation. Clients use various artistic mediums to communicate complex thoughts, enhance self-esteem, and foster personal growth. This therapeutic process promotes mindfulness and relaxation, creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery. Overall, art therapy is a valuable tool for emotional expression and mental well-being.

What should I expect during my art-based therapy appointment?

In art-based therapy, you will find a supportive environment to explore your feelings through creative expression. The therapist will help you use artistic mediums like drawing, painting, or sculpting to express emotions that are hard to verbalize.

Each session is personalized, allowing you to grow at your own pace and enhance self-awareness. You can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your feelings and thoughts through creative expression.

"Art therapy can be a means of self-exploration and healing, leading to personal insights that are often difficult to articulate."

— Cathy Malchiodi, art therapist and author
