Expressive Arts Therapy is an integration of expressive arts (including visual arts, music, sound, movement, drama, storytelling, and creative writing) and psychotherapy, aimed at fostering personal growth and social transformation. Through the integration of expressive arts processes and the flow between different modalities, individuals can explore and discover their inner resources. One can access these inner resources to promote self-understanding, enhance self-awareness, creativity, and healing, leading to a holistic connection of body, mind, and spirit.
Expressive Arts Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to freely express emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Through the process of artistic creation, individuals can explore, understand, and refram issues, fostering personal growth and transformation. The therapeutic approach acknowledges the healing power of artistic expression and utilizes it as a means of self-discovery, self-expression, and self-transformation.
Expressive Arts therapy services are available to individuals of any age, status, or background. It is not necessary to have any prior knowledge or skills in art modalities. With the guidance of an expressive arts therapist, anyone can express their thoughts and emotions through artistic creation in a safe space.
