Art Therapy:

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses artmaking as a means of expression and communication. It is based on the idea that the creative process of artmaking can help individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences in a non-verbal way and to gain insight into their emotions and behaviors. It is not necessary to have artistic skills to benefit from art therapy. 

Therapeutic art is a complementary therapy and can be used alongside other forms of treatment, such as talk therapy or medication. Research has shown that art therapy can effectively reduce a variety of mental health conditions, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD among veterans. It can also help veterans to process and express their experiences, increase self-awareness and self-esteem, and improve their ability to cope with stress. It can also be used to help individuals with physical or developmental disabilities, as well as those experiencing stress and life transitions.

Art therapy sessions are typically led by a licensed art therapist who has received specialized training in art and therapy. The therapist may provide various art materials, such as paint, clay, or charcoal, and may guide the individual through the art-making process. The therapist may use the art created in sessions to facilitate conversation and reflection.
