What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual art and the creative process with models of counseling and psychotherapy. It incorporates the creative process of art making, such as drawing, painting and sculpture, in order to express your feelings and release emotional tension.

Who benefits from Art Therapy?
EVERYONE! No artistic talent or skill is required.
You are born creative; it is your natural birthright to express yourself! Art making is a way to fit everything together that words cannot always express. The images you create can answer questions that you are struggling with; connecting the mind, heart and body together towards wholeness and well-being.
Art Therapy can help you!
Are you struggling with stress, depression or anxiety? Art Therapy can assess and offer a therapeutic outlet for you in a safe supportive environment.
- Do you want to improve your physical well being? You will be amazed at what you can create, no matter what your impairment or pain you will be engaged in the feeling of flow you experience while creating- releasing and relieving tension in the body. Art Therapy also provides an opportunity to develop fine and gross motor skills.
- Are you experiencing learning difficulties? There is growing evidence that Art enhances learning. Science helps us answer the questions of "what" and "how". Art gives us an opportunity to confront the intangible, to contemplate the "why", to imagine, to create. Using two handed guided drawing techniques your ability to focus and make connection will improve.
- Do you want to discover personal symbols and enhance your creativity? Art Therapy sessions are a personal journey into self-discovery. You will rediscover your personal symbols, which will offer you opportunities for life reflection, spiritual development and clarity in your life choices.
