What is Art Therapy?

Allowing people to use creative expression to promote healing or enhance well-being is at the core of art therapy.  However, it is more than just coloring to feel good.

Art therapy is a professional practice that involves a master’s level art therapist partnering with people on their path to healing.  An art therapist knows how to actively listen and utilize counseling techniques best suited to their clients, but they also know what art materials and creative processes might best assist someone in dealing with depression, anxiety, or in processing grief, loss, or trauma. 

Art therapy offers ways to communicate important thoughts and feelings that go beyond verbal communication.
