When Words Are NOT Enough
Art Therapy & Psychotherapy
Creative, trauma-informed therapy for children and adults who may find emotions, transitions, or difficult experiences hard to put into words - including neurodivergent clients.
About
Art Therapy
Art Therapy Is More Than Making Art
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses images, materials, symbols and the creative process alongside conversation.
Sometimes words are enough. Sometimes they are not. Art can offer another way to notice, express and make sense of emotions, memories and experiences that may be difficult to explain.
You do not need to be artistic or know how to draw. The focus is not on creating something “good,” but on what becomes possible through the process.
An Integrative Approach
Therapy does not always involve art-making. Depending on your needs, sessions may also integrate verbal psychotherapy, EMDR, sand tray, mindfulness and psychoeducation.
