What is Art Therapy

According to the American Art Therapy Association (and we agree!):

"Art therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem."

We hope to share with you our experiences growing as Art Therapists during our graduate school journey.
