Art Therapy

Art therapy integrates therapeutic techniques with the creative process to promote insight and flow; the antidote to being stuck. 

What is Art Therapy?

Sometimes our thoughts and emotions can feel overwhelming, complex or confusing to articulate with words alone.

Sometimes when we're stressed, we're unable to let go and we keep everything inside so we can focus on the tasks at hand. 

Art therapy exercises offer you an opportunity to bypass linear thinking and more freely express and release your inner thoughts and feelings onto paper.

This cathartic discharge onto the page assists in deep healing.

Art therapy involves the use of different art media to help you creatively explore and make sense of your experiences with fresh eyes.

Art-making can help you reach into largely unconscious parts of your mind.  Looking at your images can help you access new solutions.

What does art therapy look like in a session?

You might make a collage of what you want for your life.

Maybe you paint what your stress or sadness looks like, if it had a color and shape.

You might make a meditative painting, draw a boundary, or write a letter to your future self.

You and I may talk about what you’re creating, discuss the process, or what’s coming to mind when you look at your images. We might discuss how to integrate any new insights into lasting habits for your long-term well-being.

No Art Experience Required

Being ‘artistic’ is not required for art therapy.

You don't have to be "good" at art to enjoy using it as a tool for personal growth.
