What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses artistic expression as a means of exploring emotions, promoting self-awareness, and reducing stress. It is a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
​
One of the main benefits of art therapy is that it allows individuals to express themselves in a nonverbal way. Many people find it difficult to put their feelings into words, but through art, they can communicate their innermost thoughts and emotions without feeling judged. This can be especially helpful for individuals who have experienced trauma, as it allows them to process their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
​
Art therapy also provides a sense of control and mastery over one's emotions. When creating art, individuals have the ability to shape and manipulate their materials, giving them a sense of control over their environment. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions and need a way to regain a sense of control.
​
Another benefit of art therapy is that it can be a powerful stress reliever. Creating art requires focus and concentration, which can help to shift the mind away from negative thoughts and worries. The act of creating something can also be therapeutic in and of itself, as it allows individuals to release pent-up emotions and feelings.
Art therapy can be done with a wide range of materials, including paint, charcoal, clay, and collage. Some people prefer to work with traditional art materials, while others may prefer digital art tools. The key is to find a medium that feels comfortable and accessible to the individual.
​
Art therapy is a safe and effective way to reduce stress and promote mental well-being. It is a powerful tool for individuals who want to explore their emotions, increase self-awareness, and regain a sense of control over their lives. If you are interested in trying art therapy, you can reach out by scheduling a free consultation.
It requires courage to seek help. Together, we can discover what has been keeping you stuck and create a systematic plan to move you forward.

Imposter syndrome and burnout were my greatest obstacles on my way toward becoming a therapist.

You are not alone. Oftentimes people feel like they are the only ones who feel, think, and behave the way they do.
Intensives typically focus on one specific area and target that area with therapeutic interventions that have a longer time duration with more frequent sessions, but over a decreased time frame to jump start clients’ therapeutic recovery.
Stimulating growth in family members’ ability to empathize with one another, identifying triggers leading to conflict, and understanding long-held familial patterns, misunderstandings, and misconceptions all assist the family in strengthening existing skills and family ties.
