Art Therapy
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 with an image or feel when we're making something that just isn't accessible with words.
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. People used images to share ideas long before we used language. Talking matters, but it isn't all that matters.
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 body awareness, mindfulness, 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
