Art Therapy in Colorado
Art gets to be messy because life gets messy
What exactly is art therapy?
Art therapy is actually more of a misnomer. It's actually closer to image making.
The “meaning” behind the art is co-created by us. As the therapist, I am paying attention to how much energy you are putting into your movements, the order in which you create, how you are talking about your work, and what the original directive was.
I am not interpreting your work; I am being curious and asking questions about what things mean to you.
Do you have to be creative to do art therapy?
Art therapy takes absolutely no artistic skill or training, and it is not about making beautiful art. It’s also no only for kids: people of all ages can benefit from art therapy!
