Art Therapy and Counseling is the use of creativity, visual arts, and verbal talk therapy to help clients address a range of issues that is causing problems in their life. The art becomes the third person in the room and allows clients objective distance from emotional and psychological vulnerabilites in a safe environment. The art becomes the container to “hold” their pain and distress while giving them space to work out a solution to the issues at hand. This is a strengths-based approach suitable for individuals of all ages, abilities, and disabilities. It is also effective for groups, couples, and family therapy.
