Art Therapy uses the creative process to promote healing, growth, coping, well-being and self-expression, facilitated by an Art Therapist.

• Art Therapy utilizes verbal and non-verbal processes to access, explore, regulate and integrate experiences and emotions
• Art Therapy can assist in accessing emotions and memories that are difficult to explore with words
• Art Therapy does not require artistic skill or expertise
• Art Therapy focuses on the artistic process, not the product

Art Therapy can be beneficial for all ages and all kinds of needs, including support for:

• Recovery and healing from trauma
• Processing difficult emotions
• Improving mood regulation
• Managing anxiety and depression
• Building coping skills
• Improving social skills
• Improving behavior and focus
• Dealing with loss and grief
• Reducing stress

Art Therapy can support mental health when facing medical issues and dealing with the impacts of dementia.
