is a place for children and adolescence to express, create, and achieve their goals through Art Therapy and Play Therapy.
What is
Art Therapy?
Art Therapy, (also known as Creative Arts Therapy) is a form of psychotherapy.
Creative Arts Therapists are mental health professionals who use the power of creative processes, (drawing, writing, sculpting, drama, clay, sand, dance and movement) in the context of a therapeutic relationship to support healing, change and growth. This process facilitates the exploration of feelings, in order to improve self-awareness and offers
a way to witness thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to articulate.
The emphasis in Art Therapy is on the process of creating, and therefore the final product is not important! Anyone can engage in Art Therapy and there is no requirement for individuals to be ‘artistic’.
It's the process of creating that provides insight, growth, self-awareness and relief from overwhelming experiences.
Registered Creative Arts Therapists are trained in both creative methods as well as in psychological and psychotherapeutic methods to help clients better express themselves and to improve their wellbeing.
