What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression through visual art as a way to explore emotions, improve mental health, and enhance overall well-being. It’s facilitated by a trained art therapist and can be used with individuals of all ages.
Art therapy activities can be incredibly beneficial for both adults and children, helping to express emotions, reduce stress, and improve mental well-being.
​
Core Principles Of Art Therapy
​​Expression over skill: It’s not about artistic talent—it's about expressing thoughts and feelings that might be hard to put into words.
Process over product: The focus is on the act of creating, not the final artwork.
Symbolic communication: Art can reveal unconscious thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
