If you're looking for a new way to engage your child in the therapeutic process, let's talk.
Creativity in therapy provides children and adolescents with a safe and non-verbal means of expressing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of art as a therapeutic tool to heal and grow. Through the creative process, children can explore their inner world, gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, and develop a greater understanding of themselves. This self-exploration can lead to improved self-esteem and self-awareness.
