Art Therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.  The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people to resolve issues as well as develop and manage their behaviors and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness. The simple making of art can be calming and can foster mindfulness as well as serve as a much needed outlet of expression. Sometimes just making art makes us feel better and even happier!

Art therapy also helps to support, maintain and improve overall health, physical, emotional and cognitive functioning, interpersonal skills, personal development and quality of life.  Art therapy can be health-enhancing and fun!
