Art therapy can be beneficial to people of all ages who are interested in using the creative process to explore their therapeutic goals with a non-judgmental therapist.

Art Therapy effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship.

What is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship.

Art Therapy, facilitated by a professional art therapist, effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals as well as community concerns.

Art Therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change (American Art Therapy Association, 2017).
