What is art therapy?

Art therapy is the incorporation of art making in counseling to facilitate emotional expression and processing. Art is often used as a means of nonverbal communication, assessment, and building creative problem-solving skills. Art therapy is suitable for treating a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. Various materials can be used in art therapy such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and fiber arts. No amount of talent is needed to benefit from art therapy.
