EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY
Rooted in a somatic, sensory and play-based approach, expressive arts therapy fully engages the right brain.  Shape your world through the arts using sound, movement, visual art, drama and writing.  Make sense through this deeply creative and experiential healing arts process that is beneficial for all ages.
