Do you feel like you've tried everything with your child, but they struggle to benefit from traditional talk therapy because they are resistant to opening up? Do you have a creative child who may be struggle with their mental health and enjoys expressing themselves through creativity? Do you yourself feel stuck in destructive patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety or depression or blocked by past trauma? Art Therapy may be the answer for you or your child. As Art Therapists, we incorporate talk therapy with art making to help our clients unlock their creative potential, look at problems with fresh eyes, and develop new creative coping skills for dealing with difficult emotions or situations. We provide a warm and empathic environment where your child will feel safe to explore and express their authentic self and get in touch with their creativity. Through processing their art verbally with one of our art therapists, they will gain insight into themselves and their experiences or patterns that may be presenting difficulties for them.
