It's ok to get messy, especially in art therapy

Art Therapists often co-create with participants- this reduces power differentials, reduces anxiety about making art, and promotes a therapeutic connection. Yes, Art Therapy means going deep... but you'll never go it alone.

Art Therapy is more than pretty paintings. It's about the process. An Art Therapist observes gestures, the motions, the sensations for benefits like: anxiety reduction, insight, self reflection, connection with others, and healthy expression of emotions... and so much more!

Seeing those few remaining leaves on the tree reminds me of the incredible strength of the trees. They weather storms, hail, and floods. They survive harsh winters and hot dry summers. Making art reminds us of our own inner strengths. Like the trees, we are capable of surviving the unimaginable.
