Art Therapy
We offer art therapy to individuals, couples, and children. Art therapy addresses the emotional and mental aspects of pelvic health, sexuality, and relationship communication. Sometimes issues regarding pelvic health may be difficult to put into words, and an essential foundation of art therapy is that inside each of us exists a fundamental creativity.
With the assistance of an art therapist individuals use this creative language and art use to identify and express emotions in an effort to deepen insight and awareness. Through this process people develop coping strategies, new ways of understanding themselves and how they communicate with others. No artistic skill is required and anyone, of any age can benefit from art therapy.
