Art-based Therapy Group

Healing through Art

• Facilitated by Michelle Williams, LAC
• Cost: $50 per session with $25 one-time supply fee
• Thursdays beginning February 4, 2021 for a total of 10 weeks
• Group size 4-8, ages 18-25

Clients will learn how to use art and art mediums to express themselves in new and creative ways. When clients complete the group, they will have a better understanding of themselves and their inner experiences (thoughts, emotions, sensations) and be able to express themselves appropriately through the creation of art. By working with and around others, group members will not only experience the healing powers of their own creations, but also experience being present with and witnessing others' experiences, which can support clients on their journeys to healing.

Art-based Group Therapy:

• fosters self-esteem and self-awareness
• cultivates emotional resilience
• promotes insight, the process of becoming aware of feelings and obstacles to healing
• enhances social skills
• helps reduce and resolve conflicts and distress in a creative manner
• facilitates the externalization of feelings in a tangible way
• uses artistic production to promote conversation and connection with peers
• enhances confidence, creativity, imagination, concentration, and communication
• allows individuals to feel understood and validated by both the therapist and peers
