WHERE PSYCHOTHERAPY AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS COME TOGETHER

“I am not artistic” . . . “ I don’t feel creative” . . . “ I hated art class in school”

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE

Creativity is a human essence, you are designed to create.

So whether you feel very connected to your creativity or that it is out of touch, whether you feel you are artistic or the farthest thing from it,

All you need is a willing spirit to engage with the materials and an openness to trust the process.

What is Art Therapy

Art making is used as a tool to help make invisible emotions, memories or thoughts, visible so they can be explored. Both the art making process and the artwork itself allow for internal experiences, that might otherwise be hard to talk about, to be externalized.

The therapist will hold a safe and supportive space for the client to engage in the creative process and help them to explore the artwork to enhance self-exploration, healing, and understanding.

When feelings and thoughts are hard to articulate, they can be explored in a safer and non-threatening way through Art therapy.

Art Therapy can support individuals, of any age or demographic, in working through many issues, such as, but not limited to:  Depression, Anxiety, Addictions, Stress, Eating disorders, Relationship issues, Life Transitions, Self-improvement, Grief and Loss, Trauma and PTSD. 

Art therapy requires no ‘ART’ skills

it just asks you to be willinG to

connect with your creativity.

Creativity is a human essence,

you are designed to create.
