Art Therapy and GATA
Art therapy is the clinical application of art and psychology as a vehicle for communication, healing, and growth. Self-expression through the arts engages the creative process and helps clients gain insight, and fosters a sense of well being. Sometimes feelings are too difficult to talk about and the process of art therapy can make verbal expression more accessible.
