Art therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.
Art therapy is a great way to process experiences and emotions within parts of the brain that are harder to access using words, and often feels safer than traditional psycho-therapy. You do NOT have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy!

Each person comes to the therapy session with a unique viewpoint based off of personal experiences. These experiences can create lenses which can either help us or harm us in life. CBT is an approach that helps clients to learn about these personal lenses and connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to increase personal insight and challenge unhealthy patterns.
