What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy combines art with psychotherapy. It enables individuals who may have difficulty verbally expressing painful thoughts and feelings a mode in which to explore these feelings in a safe way. By utilizing a variety of art materials (i.e. markers, clay, collage and paints), a person can create a visual representation of those thoughts and feelings.

Art Therapy benefits children and adults both individually and in groups. Some of the benefits of art include: to increase self-esteem, to help individuals identify and express feelings, to develop social skills and improve fine motor skills. It also provides and alternate way to communicate for those who are verbally challenged.
