What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a clinical, evidence-based practice led by licensed art therapists.
Art therapy is a type of treatment that uses creativity to help people heal. It’s led by licensed art therapists who are trained to use art and psychology together. Through drawing, painting and other art activities, patients can express their feelings, build strength and movement, and support brain healing as they work toward their recovery goals.
