Art Psychotherapy

Art Therapy Overview

In art therapy, people create art, and then with their art therapist, process on what they produced. From that simple process, people can increase awareness of themselves, the world around them, cope with life's difficulties, stress, traumatic experiences, and create a climate of change.

We provide non-threatening couple and individual experiences that explore feelings, self-esteem and personal insight. Art allows people to recognize things in themselves by physically seeing them in their art.

Materials: Art therapists’ work with all art media including: pen and ink, colored pencils, paint, crayons, markers, clay, fiber, and collage materials. We provide all the necessary materials clients need in our office or bring them with us when we do off-site work or demonstrations at speaking engagements.
