Art Therapy

What is Art Therapy ?

Art therapy is an expressive therapy and is based on the belief that working with art is part of the healing process. It involves creating art, viewing it and talking about it. The art therapist works with a group where each individual is given the opportunity to explore and express their feelings through painting or working with clay.
