Art Therapy

Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which one can express non-verbally through art. Many teens
are challenged by expressing themselves verbally in a clinical setting. The science behind art therapy
has shown that the act of art making as a form of expression, can help tap into the deeper
consciousness to foster greater understanding.

Consider art therapy if you find your teen is struggling with:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Disordered eating
• Low self-esteem
• Lack of social connection
• Identity formation
• Stress
• Feeling broken or faulty
