How does it work?
Whether you prefer in-person sessions or the convenience of virtual appointments, we provide a creative sanctuary for your healing journey.
Our therapists use tactile materials and the creative process to help you safely navigate challenging emotions. We partner with children and adults to help them reach goals.
Key Benefits
Non-Verbal Expression: Art therapy provides a direct pathway to emotions that individuals may struggle to articulate verbally. Clients experience easier access to their feelings through creative expression compared to talk therapy alone, allowing for visual communication of complex emotions.
Nervous System Regulation: Engaging in art-making activates the release of endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin that promote relaxation and well-being. Studies indicate that art-making can lower cortisol levels associated with stress. The tactile stimulation of working with hands provides soothing, stress-relieving effects.
Mindfulness and Focus: The creative process requires full engagement in the present moment, diverting attention away from anxious thoughts and rumination.
Self-Esteem and Accomplishment: Completing art projects fosters a sense of achievement and enhances self-worth, regardless of artistic skill level. This sense of ownership and success can open avenues to revise negative self-perceptions and enhance self-belief.
Emotional Release and Insight: Art creation facilitates access to unconscious memories and deep-seated emotions, leading to catharsis and improved emotional well-being. The process encourages reflection and self-awareness without judgment.

"When an inner situation inside of us is not made conscious, it is projected outside of us as fate."
