Art Therapy
When words aren’t enough, art therapy can help
What is Art Therapy?
Through art therapy, you’re invited to explore thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words through imagery, colour, and shape. It combines the healing power of creativity with psychotherapy to help you explore and understand what you’re going through, and engages all your senses to help relax your nervous system. A great option for all ages, art therapy is often used with individuals, couples, families, and even large groups.
The focus isn’t on making art–it’s on using the process as a way to slow down, feel safer in your body, and make space for what you’re experiencing. Sessions are guided by clinicians making this approach especially helpful for trauma, grief, anxiety, and other experiences that can feel heavy to talk about.
- Feel overwhelmed but can’t put it into words
- Are processing grief, trauma, or loss
- Feel disconnected from yourself or your emotions
- Want a gentle, sensory approach to therapy
- Are supporting a child or teen who expresses themselves through creativity
