Janette Agbetor Adrienne Figueiredo Creative Arts Therapist Creative Arts Therapist What is Art Therapy? How it Works… Art therapy is a psychotherapy modality that incorporates both verbal communication and art-making into the therapy process. This unique therapy is designed for those coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, psychosis, or any other life stressors. The process involves the creation of art in order to increase awareness of self and others. This in turn may promote personal development, increase coping skills, and enhance overall insight.   Our Program Our Team What We Do… Art therapy, facilitated by a professional art therapist, effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals as well as community concerns. Art therapists are trained in both art and psychological therapy. Art therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change. *Referenced from the American Art Therapy Association.
