Frequently asked questions

Art therapy is the process of working with the client’s emotions or trauma in the moment using the combination of art and psychotherapy. By applying the creative process and co-creating a liminal space together, we tap into the client's subconscious in order to address what client's underlying thoughts or emotions bring attention to. Art therapy also honours recurring thoughts or emotional needs that are asking to be addressed in the moment. This process is facilitated with materials chosen to accommodate emotions or feelings, and can be done thorough drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, collage, mindfulness, or even through creating art with nature. Art therapy can be a profound experience for those who don't feel comfortable talking about their issues, or who are looking for an alternative to talk therapy. No artistic skills are required—just an openness to explore through art!
