Expressive Arts Therapy is...
In our logo, how many art forms can you find?
A psychotherapy model that integrates more than an art modality. Participants promote growth and heal their body, mind and spirit through art creation. In a safe and confidential treatment space, therapists accompany participants in their creation to increase non-verbal expression and communication to achieve treatment goals.
Participants are not required to have any artistic skills and are not restricted by age, identity, education level, culture, etc.
Three principles of treatment
Confidentiality
Keep what happens in the therapy room confidential
Therapist will also abide by confidentiality agreements except in certain circumstances
Respect
Listen to yourself, the therapist and other members (group), respect and treat feedback and arts with an open attitude
Safety
Take care of yourself, others, the surroundings and tools
We place great emphasis on the creative process of the participants rather than simply the beauty of the finished work.
Everyone pursues beauty, but everyone has a different definition of beauty.
A therapist is not an art teacher. He or she will not teach you how to play music more beautifully or how to dance more professionally.
But the therapist will accompany and guide you to open yourself up through art, get closer to the beauty in your mind, and try to achieve the treatment goals step by step.
