Things are changing and that's a good thing!
The weather is getting cooler, family and friends are planning holiday cheer, and our Tweens and Teens are full swing into academic offerings.
In this state of constant change, motion, and demand there is also a need for centering, regrouping, and learning ways to connect meaningfully with others.
The Art in Therapy recognizes a person's human need for meaningful social connectedness through shared group experiences, so we've created a way to offer the Group Art Therapy experience in a warm and inviting environment.
They are happy to announce two new groups and the continuation of two already established groups at
The Art in Therapy.
Each Art Therapy Group is designed to meet the emotional needs of the group while being structured to meet the individual needs of each person by remaining small in group member size.
This is what's new for Winter 2017-2018!
Art Therapy Group Offerings:
*Teen Group
(14-18 years old, boys & girls) concentrating on...
- Increasing Socialization Skills
- Decreasing Anxious/Depressive traits
