Art Psychotherapy
Sometimes Words Are Not Enough
For just a minute - think back to art class, remember how much fun it was create something that was all yours? One of the reasons that felt so good is that Art is so authentic and pure. It represents the importance of who we are. Art is a wonderful journey of selfexploration. I aim at helping others work through a whole range of emotions and issues. It is my belief that words alone are not enough. Using art materials as a vehicle can actually give you the power to start the process of change. You don’t have to be an artist to do Art Therapy. You can scribble, doodle, or even draw stick figures. The most important thing is the willingness to try. Art Therapy is a safe way to express strong and sometimes sensitive or destructive feelings. It is often used for stress and anxiety management. It enhances communication among individuals, groups or professional teams.
I am often asked, “HOW do I begin therapy?” My answer is simple, “First, you must be Honest, Open, and Willing. This is H.O.W.”
Several workshop participants expressed the benefits they have gained from our recent workshops:

" My son has really enjoyed coming to the workshops. He is able to communicate to us without yelling or shutting down. You have taught him how to ask for what he needs and wants in a respectful and loving way. His teachers even notice some changes! "
