Expressive Arts + Movement + Play Therapy
Creative Arts Therapy
Creative, Expressive Arts Therapy is a great way to tap into our emotional experiences in a safe and effective way. How often do you find that putting words to some of your experiences isn’t quite meeting your need for expression and healing? Creative Arts Therapy will give you that language and space to develop a deeper connection to yourself and allow you to rewire your brain and body for healing!
You do not need to be an artist to use creative expression. You also do not need to be a child, although this is the primary modality, combined with mindfulness and CBT, we use when working with children. Creativity and play are the first languages we learn as children and how children continue to communicate. It is an innate form of connectedness both internally and with others.
Sandplay Therapy
Sandplay therapy is a nonverbal, therapeutic intervention that invites you to use of a sandbox, toy figures, and sometimes water, to create worlds, stories, pictures or representations that reflect yours or your child’s inner thoughts, emotional processes, struggles, and how you see yourself and your world. This is simply one form of play therapy.
Like Creative Arts therapy, this is a safe way for children, adolescents and adults to process and heal their inner most emotional experiences.
Movement Therapy
Movement therapy uses movement to help a person deal with physical manifestations of difficult to process emotions and experiences. Examples include trauma, physical or mental illness, a disability, or life challenges that keep them from being the most ideal versions of themselves as they desire. The aim of movement therapy is to enhance the person’s cognitive, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Our bodies hold onto our emotional experiences. Our body does not forget even when our mind tries to. Exploring and becoming connected with your bodies processes allows you to release what no longer serves you and make room for wellness and growth.
