What is art therapy?

Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy. Art Therapists are mental health professionals who use art, media and the creative process (drawing, writing, sculpting, drama, clay, sand) to facilitate the exploration of feelings, improve self-awareness and reduce anxiety for clients.

Creative processes can be a way for clients to explore and express feelings that may be hard to put into words. Registered Art Therapists are trained in both creative methods and also in psychological and psycho-therapeutic methods to help clients better express themselves and to improve their well-being.

What to expect in the first session?
