What is Art Therapy?
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
—Picasso
Picasso is right!
Art therapy can help you and your family express feelings, cope with anxieties, become more mindful and enjoy the creative process. You may ask, "But what if I am no good at art?" Art therapy is for EVERYONE. Creativity and art therapy is more process than product focused. Freedom to express yourself using different types of mediums and materials is supported. Clients cultivate and follow the creative impulse to see what happens. Every art piece is an experiment!
According to the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA), " the regulating body for art therapists in Canada, art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. 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."
