Creative Arts Therapy

What is Creative Arts Therapy?

• It is a unique form of counseling that uses creative art materials such as clay, drawing, painting, collage, sand tray, movement and mindfulness, to give a visual form to our inner experiences and inner conflicts.


• The arts reveal and open different ways of knowing that verbal counseling cannot access. They have the ability to access the right side of the brain where emotional images and trauma resides.


• The art works are rich in meaning and the therapeutic relationship helps a client to understand their pattern and themes that naturally emerge through the creative process.


• Clients regain empowerment through their own self-discovery as well as finding new choices for change.
