DWHEAT Candidate for Art and Expressive Arts Therapy.

Welcome home to your creative and curious self. Emotions can be hard to put into words, and that’s where Art and Expressive Arts Therapy can help. Adding ways to communicate other than just talking (like drawing, painting, music, writing, movement, and more) encourages us to explore and express our inner world. In Art and Expressive Arts Therapy, it is less about the product we create, and more about the process of creating. This creative process — this alternative experience of the world — can support self-understanding, resilience, and thriving.
