What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a type of psychotherapy involving creative self expression through various art making materials. Art Therapy acts as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, revealing underlying emotions and conflicts that contribute to depression.
Engaging in the creative process, with a trained Art Therapist, can help individuals increase confidence, connection and joy.
Through guided art making, and talk therapy, individuals can gain insight into their depression, work towards resolving underlying stressors.
