Art Therapy

Picture
Oftentimes, words cannot accurately express our thoughts and feelings or reach others the way we would like them to.  But a picture is worth a thousand words! It is amazing what we can show and feel better about through making art that we can't through talking.

It does not matter if you consider your child or yourself "artistic" or "creative."  Art and other expressive therapies simply offer a safe and freeing way to show, release, understand, and communicate beyond words for people of all ages.

​Keep in mind too that art and play are natural communication tools for children that come easy to them.  It makes sense that effective therapy capitalizes on these in order to best help your child, no matter what the presenting concern may be.

Art making undoubtedly helps kids to be their best selves, teens to find hope and relief, and adults to reconnect with parts of themselves in meaningful ways that change​ their lives for the better.


Here, art making, along with sandplay, movement, music, and story telling, are used to authentically express and heal emotional wounds, build effective communication tools, learn new ways to cope with stress, experience the world from a new, broader perspective, and to feel better!

"I found I could say things with colors & shapes
that I couldn’t say any other way- things I had no words for.”  ~ G.0.

Do you love making things- as an artist or as a grown-up who wishes they had more creative space in life? Looking for more than adult coloring books, paint-n-sip, or scrapbooking class for your creative outlet?
​
​Art Therapy lets you experience yourself and life in a new way that supports emotional well-being, offerings clarity, relieves insecurities, and allows you to express yourself with more than words.

This group will focus on tapping into your own creative energy to express, release, relieve, heal, and take pleasure in and through art making.
  Groups will include guided exercises in mindfulness, support of curious, creative expression, and access to a range of art supplies and different ways to make art work that is personally meaningful, stress relieving, and fun!  

​ This series is an opportunity for anyone who values their own creativity and want to come to a safe space to playfully and meaningfully make art with others. If you truly enjoy making (not just functional) things, want to try different types of materials or processes, and in general wish you had more creative space in your life, you will love this group.  Artists, performers, and writers will also benefit from unblocking creative energy and increasing their own inner balance and awareness.
