What is Art  Therapy?

Art therapy is a mind-body oriented psychotherapy that uses art materials, the creative process, and your own artwork to facilitate healing. Art therapy isn't about being a skilled artist; it is a mind-body oriented psychotherapy that blends traditional counseling with the creative process. Through active art-making like drawing, painting, or clay, we explore your thoughts and feelings. Art Therapy helps you calm your nervous system, find clarity and make sense of your experiences.

How does art therapy help?

Express & Understand

Art therapy gives a physical voice to complex feelings, allowing us to map out your clinical counseling goals with deeper clarity.

Discover Meaning

Art Therapy uses visual processing to bring hidden insights to light, especially when life transitions leave you feeling disconnected or short on words

Navigate Trauma

Art therapy offers a supportive way to reconnect to yourself, regulate your nervous system and heal your relationships.

Connect Mind & Body 

Art Therapy acts as a bridge, connecting what your experiencing in your body to your emotional processing. 

Reduce Stress

Art Therapy and active art making are demonstrated to lower cortisol, your primary stress hormone, and work to calm your nervous system.

Experience Healing

Art Therapy fosters growth through your relationship with the creative process, both in how you use the materials and the imagery you create.
