Art Therapy

Art Therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of self expression to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self esteem and self awareness and achieve insight.  Our art therapists along with students and interns provide a wide range of  offerings that allow individuals to experience the creative process of fine art making…. no matter what their skill level may appear to be.  Art Therapy is an integral dimension of our Day Habilitation and Respite Services and in its work with Fancy Free, opening up opportunities for our Artists to show, sell their work and interact with the community in an entirely new and exciting way!
