What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is considered a treatment modality within Psychotherapy or talk therapy. It incorporates the use of imagery, colours, and shapes during your therapy session to enable self-exploration. Art therapy, facilitated by a Registered Psychotherapist, effectively allows you to express difficult emotions, treat psychological disorders, and enhance your mental health.

Things to consider before starting art therapy:

  • You don’t have to be artistic or possess a special creative talent

  • Art Therapy is not like an art class; you won’t learn a technique or skill. The focus of the session is on your experience and feelings

  • Art Therapy at BeWell  is facilitated by a Registered Psychotherapist

FAQ

No. Art Therapy is about self-expression and exploration. Your certified Art Therapist will guide you through the creative process of this insightful therapy method. It is all about the Psychological process rather than the finished product.

Your therapist will gauge your interests and explain the benefits of different types of art therapy best suited for your situation. The sessions could include working with different materials and techniques such as water paint, color pencils, and 3D art.

For in-person appointments, materials will be provided. However, for online Art Therapy sessions, you are responsible for bringing the material to class.
