Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which people can use simple visual art materials to explore concerns and feelings both verbally and nonverbally. Art therapy provides an opportunity to express difficult or confusing feelings in a safe and non-threatening manner. Art therapy emphasizes the creative process, rather than the art product.

Art therapy provides a unique way for people to communicate and gain understanding. The creative process in art therapy allows you to access the imaginative part of yourself to bring inner guidance and self-healing to a conscious level. It encourages independence, insight and self-awareness and fosters healing of the whole person.
