EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY
Rooted in a somatic, sensory and play-based approach, expressive arts therapy fully engages the right brain.  Shape your world using sound, movement, visual art, drama and writing.  Make sense by delving into this deeply creative and experiential healing arts process that is beneficial for all ages.  No background in art is necessary...just a sense of curiosity.
