​What Is Art Therapy?

*Please Note: Art Therapy may look different with Telehealth services.

Traditionally, Art Therapy is an expressive form of “talk therapy”. If you have difficulty finding the words when it comes to daily stress or anxiety, using the senses and sensory output (being creative or hands on with the materials) can be helpful in identifying and expressing your needs. Art therapy includes prompts while creating and seeing where this takes you and can relate to your emotions.

In creating and discussing through art, it can be less stressful to recall memories or events alone. The act of creating can be mindful, meditative and relaxing while discussing difficult topics.
