Art therapy can access the mind, body, and emotions in ways that are distinct from verbal expression alone. Our art therapy sessions are personalized to meet the needs of the individual. Common therapeutic goals at Indigo Art Therapy may include: coping with anxiety and stress, managing strong feelings, healing from trauma, improving self-expression and communication, creating emotional awareness and adaptability, developing insight and self-compassion, and nurturing healthy relationships and boundaries. Art skills are not necessary to benefit from art therapy. Healing can happen through scribbles and stick figures. Our approach incorporates sensorimotor art therapy, mindfulness, sensory-based art-making + play, trauma-informed therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy strategies. We work with all ages and abilities and specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, autism, ADHD, trauma, and folks who may be nonverbal or resistant to traditional forms of therapy.
