Art Therapy

What is art therapy?
Art Therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship. Art Therapy, facilitated by a professional art therapist, effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals as well as community concerns. Art Therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change.

For private art therapy, I work with children in an Arts and Wellness session after school through the use of therapeutic art and goal setting.   
I also work with adults privately in mindfulness based expressive arts. Contact Laura for more information about the therapeutic arts.
