Art therapy integrates psychotherapeutic techniques with the creative process to improve mental health and well-being. It is a valuable approach towards developmental, social, emotional, and medical challenges. According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is the therapeutic use of art-making within a professional relationship, by people experiencing illness, trauma, challenges in living, or by people seeking personal development. Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others, cope with symptoms of stress and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life affirming pleasures of making art. The combination of art and therapy provides a meaningful form of nonverbal communication and self-expression. It is particularly effective for individuals who have difficulty accessing their feelings and conveying them through language and is equally effective for both adults and children. Art therapy for children, who may not have the vocabulary to express their emotions, is a non-verbal expression that bypasses the defenses and is a non-intimidating method of understanding their experiences and perceptions. Artistic training or talent is not necessary to experience the benefits of art therapy. https://www.pattianastasi.com/home daily 1.0 2020-08-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10a8e8c1cb3e09a15379b9/t/5f10ade51e643612f9819685/1596144334665/Homepage+Image+FPO.jpg Home https://www.pattianastasi.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-25 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10a8e8c1cb3e09a15379b9/t/5f23494ed8d85135afd34a15/1596148058914/Safari.jpeg Contact - Contact us.

Anastasi, M.A.A.T., MFT. Psychology/Art Therapy 415 250 9860 Art Therapy combines psychotherapeutic techniques with the creative process to improve and enhance the mental and emotional well-being of both children and adults. The practice of Art Therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps resolve conflicts, manage behavior, develop interpersonal skills, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, and achieve insight.
