Payment Methods Private_Pay Languages Spoken English Description Of Practice Art Therapy is an effective treatment modality that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other therapeutic models. It is particularly effective with those who find it difficult to process challenging issues and emotions verbally. Art Therapy can provide a connection to emotions and difficult issues that have been hard to access through other means. It can facilitate emotional expression, self- awareness and positive change. Clients do not need any art background or artisitc skill in order to participate or benefit from the Art Therapy process. The artwork becomes the 'voice' of the client. Spontaneous art expression is non-judgemental without evaluation or critique. Emphasis is on the person and the process and not on the product. Issues that can be addressed successfully in Art Therapy: Depression and Anxiety Anger Management Dual Dignosis Behaviour Problems Addictions Learning Disabilities Autism Spectrum Disorder ADD/ADHD Sexual, Physical and Emotional Abuse Mental Illness Domestic Violence Loss and Grief Marital Conflict Family Breakdown Eating Disorders Self-Harm Chronic Illness ...and many more. Additional Information The Art Therapy Session: Within a safe and supportive environment, the client is given the opportunity to explore issues and emotions through the use of the chosen art materials. The client is then encouraged to discuss the artwork with the therapist, in order to assist in the client's process of bringing personal meaning and insight to the work. The artwork becomes the voice of the client and provides a safe and non-threatening place to process difficult emotions providing insight and clarity. The therapist's role is to support the client in this process of discovery and not make any judgements about the client, the artwork or the presenting issues.
