Art Therapy Clinic

Art therapy uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, cognitive and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life enhancing.

The art therapy clinic provides diagnostic assessments, consultation and treatment for individuals, groups and families of all ages. Nazareth students receive hands-on experience with clients and learn from professional art therapists.

"It's not about being an artist, it's about using visual symbols to explore feelings and emotions… it's about seeing feelings, making them visible to yourself."
