Arts-based Therapy
Session

Art-based Therapy incorporates art-making into the therapeutic process to promote self-expression, self-discovery, and emotional healing during the session. This approach recognizes that creating art can be a powerful way to communicate thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. By engaging in therapeutic art-making, people can gain insight into their inner world, explore their emotions, and process traumatic experiences.
​
The art-making process is used in conjunction with talk therapy, where people are encouraged to explore their creative impulses without judgment and to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment.
​
It can be used to treat a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. It can also be helpful for individuals who struggle with verbal communication, such as those on the autism spectrum or those with developmental disabilities. The goal is to help people develop insight, resilience, and coping skills, and to promote healing and growth.
