Art Therapy is an integrative mental health profession that helps children to communicate in a way that’s natural to them. Art and play are already part of the work we do with children as well as their language and development.
Art therapy uses art materials (paint, markers, clay, and more), a person’s creative process, as well as the resulting art product to explore and express emotions, thoughts, and feelings in a safe and healthy way.
An art therapist must deliver or facilitate art therapy. It is within the relational dynamic that healing work can be done.
