Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive Arts Therapy is the practice of using imagery, storytelling, dance, music, drama, poetry, movement, dreamwork, and visual arts in an integrated way, to foster self exploration, personal growth, and healing.

Expressive Arts Therapists believe that through creative expression and the tapping of the imagination, a person can examine the body, feelings, emotions and his or her thought process.

In Expressive Arts Therapy you do not need to be an artist, processes are simple and no previous art background is needed.

Simple low skill art making in these different areas (visual art, music, movement, writing and drama) help open the senses and access our imagination so we can find and activate the resources that we hold within ourselves.
