Art Therapy for Children
" When Words are not Enough" art therapy is a treatment based on strengths and interests as well as concerns. Conducted through art-making and verbal expressions, art is seen as a language and viewed as self-talk, bringing insight to beliefs and behaviors, while empowering children beyond treatment sessions.
Sessions are conveniently scheduled in the home and the practice welcomes children with special needs.
