Art Therapy

 

 

Art therapy gives individuals a safe and creative way to express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Through the process of creating, clients can explore their inner world, process trauma, and gain deeper self-awareness in a non-threatening and empowering way.

We have a few openings for Art Therapy - Schedule today.

Play Therapy

 

 

Play therapy allows children to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play—their natural language. It helps them process emotions, build coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels safe, familiar, and developmentally appropriate.
