Art Therapy

What is it?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression to help people process emotions, reduce stress, and explore their inner world. It can be especially powerful when words are not available. This may be due to emotional overwhelm, confusion, or the impact of trauma. For many, trauma lives in the body and in images rather than in language. Art offers a way to express experiences that may feel impossible to speak. You do not need to be an artist. The focus is on expression, not on skill or the final product.

How does it work?
When emotions feel too intense, too painful, or too complex to describe, art can speak in ways that words cannot. In art therapy, you are invited to create through materials like drawing, painting, or collage. The act of making art becomes a bridge between what you are feeling and what you are trying to understand. For those who have experienced trauma, art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where healing can begin without needing to explain everything out loud. Together, we explore the meaning behind the images, colors, and patterns that emerge. Art therapy helps people reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and move toward healing in a way that feels natural and empowering.
