Art therapy is an incredibly healing and expressive mode of therapy. Research shows that art making alone has been proven to:
Lower the stress hormone Cortisol
Improve mood (increases the feel-good chemical Dopamine)
Lower your heart rate
Strengthen your immune system (increases T-cells)
Enhance self-awareness
Increase cognitive benefits (memory, problem-solving skills, creative thinking)
And Before you say: “I’m not good at art,” know this - you don’t have to be! Art Therapy is all about creative expression and taking internal thoughts and feelings and making them external. With the help of a Board Certified Art Therapist, you can explore, process, and grow through the creation and analysis of your art. You don’t have to be the next Picasso, you don’t have to be the next Monet. You can simply be YOU, letting go of judgment towards yourself and your art. And for the record: art you make in therapy can be UGLY, it can be MESSY, it can look terrible. Because sometimes that’s how we feel. And that’s ok.
