What to Expect?
Art therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental atmosphere where a child is free to engage in creative expression. Art therapy utilizes verbal and non-verbal skills and resources.
Children and teens are encouraged to use a variety of materials like clay, paint, pastels, watercolors, paper, pencils and cut-outs. Use of these materials helps identity feelings, express ideas, reveal conflicts and reinforce values and character strengths.
The art works produced gives the trained art therapist a clear understanding of coping skills and strategies, hidden conflicts, masked fears and unresolved conflicts and anxieties. The art works can reveal areas of personal strengths and character assets pointing to the development of expanded creative potential.
