Is Art Therapy Right for me? 


Good question!

People often think you need art training or to be a kid to benefit from Art Therapy
but that's just not true! It's a powerful tool for anyone who's willing to give it a try.

Read below to see if this sounds like you:

  • You sometimes find words frustrating & wish there was another way to communicate. (Maybe telepathy?)

  • You can feel dissatisfied after trying to explain what you've experienced or felt.

  • You believe you might understand yourself better if you could see your thoughts, feelings and/or beliefs.

  • You have a hard time identifying what you're feeling or thinking. 

  • You find talking directly about your thoughts & feelings difficult or too vulnerable.
​
  • You're sensory. You enjoy and learn through your senses. (Your friends know you'll dance around when you're happy, touch plants on a walk, notice beauty around you or be very impacted by your environment, like the smells, sounds or who you live with.)

  • You LOVE Art Materials and/or Colors! You want to explore them and play with them. 

  • You learn best through action. You learn visually or by doing. 

  • You are more comfortable exploring personal problems with some emotional distance, or through metaphor. (i.e. through story, poems, games, or play) 

  • You like the idea of working alone on a poem or image to then possibly share or discuss with your therapist. 
​
  • You have periods of feeling overwhelmed or confused by thoughts and feelings.

If you relate to this list, Art Therapy just might be an excellent fit for you!
​ (What an exciting discovery!)
