Art Therapy in Langley & Surrey, BC
“Creating artwork allows your mind to be in a safe place while it contemplates the tougher issues you are dealing with. One can use the tools of brush, paint, pastels, crayons etc to expose and even for a short time colour those issues in a different light.”
- George E. Miller
You want to make some changes in your life, but you’re not sure where to start. Every time that you sit down and try to explain what’s going on to someone else in your life, you feel like you’re at a loss for words.
Art therapy might be a tool that is a good fit for you. Using an expressive tool like art can help you get out of your head, and help you express what is going on in a different way.
If you’re like most people, art therapy sounds like something that is for kids. And we are definitely excited to provide art therapy in Langley as an effective tool for working with children.
Art Therapy is also just as effective with teens and adults. This way of doing counselling combines visual art and therapy in a way that allows you to create a picture, creation or poetry as a way of exploring who you are, what is going on for you, and what emotions you are experiencing. Instead of trying to find words for your thoughts and feelings, they come out in images or colours.
