Arts therapy uses various art modalities in a supportive setting, to facilitate growth and healing. It is a process of discovering ourselves through any art form that comes from an emotional depth, foster awareness, encourage emotional growth, and enhance relationships with others. Art therapy is considered a unique domain of psychotherapy and counseling that recognizes the nonverbal and/or metaphoric expression delivered through the creative process.
Expressive Arts Therapies are not about being an artist or making beautiful artworks. The Art making is part of a journey that client and therapist are taking together, to explore creatively and discover oneself. When one experience challenges and look for possible solutions, art therapy may offer a path for self-realization, skill building, emotional and spiritual healing, and meaning-making. Art therapy offers a window into ones internal world that may be expressed in non-verbal way through art making process. It is based on the commitment of both therapist and client to take this journey together.
