About Art Therapy
Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making 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 self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.
What We Do:
The Art Therapy Clinic at Nazareth College offers a confidential setting for expression of feelings. Art therapists advance cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual repair. The therapeutic process evolves from non-verbal expression into facilitation of a fuller spectrum of human communication. Each person is assessed in order to proceed in a therapeutic manner most beneficial to the individual. Art therapists are licensed professionals trained in both Art and Psychology. They are skilled in various art media, and qualified practitioners in assessment, diagnosis, research and treatment. They provide diagnostic information and consultation to allied health professionals.
Who We Serve:
Art Therapists work with all ages. We are an interdisciplinary clinic and we serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, families, groups, and communities.
