Our Approach to
Art Therapy

Art therapy offers art-making and creative expression as adaptable tools to support our self-expression, emotional regulation, and ability to process and understand our feelings, thoughts, actions, and experiences. In therapy, creative expression can support relationship-building and communication, especially when we don’t have the words for what we want to express – the art helps us learn about and share parts of ourselves with others. Through art therapy, creativity can become an accessible skill to draw on during life’s ups and downs, challenges and transitions. Diverse creative options are available and flexible to each client’s interests and goals – including visual, written, sound, performance and movement-based art. No art experience is required.
