Artsparkz - Expressive Art Classes & Art Therapy Services

Ever hear of the expression "A picture is worth a thousand words"?

With the guidance and support of a trained art-therapist, the client uses art making techniques as an adjunctive means to sort through and understand their emotions. No art skills are necessary.

Once a week, one-hour therapy sessions focus upon many needs such as: the effects of divorce on all family members, depression, abuse (sexual, physical, emotional and neglect), foster family or blended family adjustments, sibling rivalry, bullying, self-esteem, anxiety, anger management, and fostering the parent-child bond and communication.

Art therapy can address issues that conventional talk therapy can with an added bonus: art therapy is able to provide insight into the client's emotions and patterns of thinking which are expressed via their art-making. With the use of projected stories about the client's own images, the client is provided with deeper insight as to what is troubling him/her, that sometimes words alone cannot provide.
