Art
Therapy is a type of expressive therapy in which art
making, created
within a therapeutic relationship, is used to promote
personal growth and healing for people of all ages.
By creating imagery and reflecting on the art products
and processes, participants in Art Therapy can express
and become aware of inner development, concerns, strengths,
dreams as well as conflicts. Because art making uses
right-brained, intuitive processes, it accesses the
personality and psyche in a very different way from
verbal therapy. This type of therapy is useful for children
and adults, for people who may have trouble expressing
feelings, and for those who simply like to express themselves
through image. Clients may choose Art Therapy as a primary
type of self exploration, or as a complement to verbal
therapy. As the old saying goes, "A picture is
worth a thousand words."
