Expressive art therapy is a therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to explore and express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences through various creative modalities, such as visual arts, music, movement, writing, and drama.
This form of therapy is often used to help children:
Process trauma
Improve self-esteem
Manage stress
Enhance overall emotional well-being
It is especially helpful in that it provides kids with a safe and non-verbal way to communicate and process a wide range of emotions and experiences.
How does this therapy work?
By engaging in artistic and creative activities, children can discover new ways of expressing themselves and of coping with any challenges they may be facing.
Our therapists specialize in this approach by guiding children through different art-based activities, allowing them to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental space.
Throughout this process, children can gain self-awareness, develop coping skills, and build confidence, as well as find joy in their own creative self-expression.
