Art Therapy: A Healing Practice for People of All Ages

Art therapy is a type of therapy that involves using creative art-making as a tool to help individuals express themselves, gain self-awareness, and promote emotional, mental, and physical healing.

The act of creating art provides a unique opportunity for individuals to express themselves freely, gain insight and self-awareness, and process difficult emotions in a way that differs from traditional counseling or talk therapy and can be less intimidating.

Individuals of all ages, from children to seniors, can use art therapy to explore their emotions, resolve emotional conflicts, enhance self-awareness, manage their behavior, improve social skills, increase reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and boost self-esteem.
