Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. While using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate. Connecting with the art and the self, you will walk a path of healing and transformation with your therapist. An example of an art therapy directive: think of your definition of a beautiful day, and create this in any art form that feels right to you. The image can be literal or abstract, created on paper or with found objects in nature.
