Group Theraphy
Art therapy groups are a helpful way to explore personal and group themes. In a supportive, non-judgmental and confidential space, participants can paint and reflect together.
Some groups are run on an ongoing basis; others are run for 8-12 weeks or more. If you are interested in attending an art therapy group, please contact us to find out if it is currently in the schedule or if you would like to be put on a waiting list for a place.
Individual Sessions
Despite our best efforts at self-awareness, we’re all too often partial or complete mysteries to ourselves. Art, de Botton and Armstrong suggest, can help shed light on those least explored nooks of our psyche and make palpable the hunches of intuition we can only sense but not articulate:
We are not transparent to ourselves. We have intuitions, suspicions, hunches, vague musings, and strangely mixed emotions, all of which resist simple definition. We have moods, but we don’t really know them. Then, from time to time, we encounter works of art that seem to latch on to something we have felt but never recognized clearly before.
