Expressive arts therapy FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES & FAMILIES
Personal Growth, Rediscovering Inspiration
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we experience at different stages and transitions in our lives. Through Expressive Arts, you will strengthen your resilience and your ability to adjust to change as you recover your motivation, perspective and joy. Be supported in a safe, creative and healing practice as you rediscover what inspires you most.
Children and Adolescents, Self Discovery and Resilience
Being frustrated, hurt or disappointed isn't always easy to describe with words, but putting these feelings into works of art provides a safe framework for expressing emotions and developing self-awareness. Children and adolescents will develop self-esteem, flexibility, resilience, authenticity, and social-emotional growth through the practice of expressive arts.
Families & Relationships, Creatively Reconnecting
Relationship and Family Expressive Arts Therapy can be beneficial to couples and families who are looking to reconnect, de-stress and share joyful experiences. The arts provide a safe, supportive and creative foundation for couples and families to work through issues and grow positive communication. Strengthen your relationships and your creativity with the people you care about most.
