Hi, I have been practicing as an art therapist since 2000's. I have seen remarkable recoveries and been honored to assist clients with many significant life challenges. I hope you will allow me to assist you with yours. Below is some important information regarding the practice of art therapy.
- Art therapy is a wholistic and non-invasive therapy.
- Art therapy is psychotherapy for anxiety and depression and much more.
- Art therapy is suited for adults, teens and children (age 7 up)
Creative arts therapists are trained in psychotherapy and in specific arts discipline. They have training in area's that include clinical practice and human development as well as the use of creative arts to provide services for your psychotherapeutic needs.
While guiding patients to create and reflect on art and the artistic process, creative arts therapists help people increase awareness of self and others, cope with the symptoms of stress, illness and trauma, and enhance cognitive abilities. They help their patients improve self-esteem, develop more effective communications skills and relationships, gain insight into patterns of behavior, and create new options for coping with problems.
