Why art therapy? Art therapy is a mode of psychotherapy that uses creative techniques to help individuals express themselves through art, when they can no longer do so verbally. You are not expected to be an artist or have artistic ability, but have the willingness to 'play' and explore with art materials provided within a 'safe' space. An Art Therapist is not here to 'teach' you, but to support you in using art materials in your 'own' way. Art therapy can provide an opportunity for you to explore and overcome issues you may not be able to express verbally using a non-threatening creative process.
