Individuals, couples and families have found art therapy helpful in the exploration of inner and interpersonal issues. Experiences too difficult to talk about, or outside of conscious awareness, can be explored symbolically through the guided use of art media. The healing gardens and studio provide solace and support, while the art materials stimulate the senses and reduce depression. Using metaphor, which is the language of the imagination, we bring new insights to life's challenges. No artistic skill is necessary. Sliding scale fees available.
