OUR SERVICES
Our practice integrates various arts and forms of creative expression into the therapeutic process to promote healing, self, discovery and personal growth. While the therapy involves engaging in activities such as visual arts, music, dance, movement, drama, writing, and other creative processes, the process is focused on the individual’s unconscious processes to encourage integration, balance and healing.
DRAMATHERAPY
Clients engage in a variety of dramatic activities and exercises, such as role-playing, improvisation, storytelling, and creative performance. These activities provide a safe and structured space for clients to explore their feelings, relationships, and life experiences in a unique and engaging way. Our therapist guides and supports individuals as they use drama as a means of self-expression and self-discovery.

MOVEMENT THERAPY
Movement therapy is a type of psychotherapeutic approach that uses movement and sometimes dance to promote emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Based on the idea that the body and mind are interconnected, movement can be a powerful tool for self-expression, self-awareness, and healing.
We use various movement-based techniques to help our clients explore and address a wide range of emotional and psychological issues such as low self-esteem, managing trauma, body image issues, and dysfunctional interpersonal skills.
A Safe, non-judgmental space to explore difficult feelings
Art Therapy
Art can serve as a mirror reflecting one’s inner world. Art therapy encourages individuals to use various art materials and techniques, such as painting, drawing, sculpting, collage, and other forms of visual arts, to express themselves. The emphasis is on the creative process rather than the final product. This form of therapy can be a powerful means of non-verbal communication allowing individuals to convey thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be difficult to express verbally.
Our Art Therapists use their expertise to interpret the symbolism and meaning in clients' artwork. This analysis informs the therapeutic process and helps clients gain insight into their experiences.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a therapeutic approach primarily used with children to help them express their emotions, communicate their thoughts, and work through psychological and emotional challenges. It is based on the belief that children naturally use play as a way to process their experiences and cope with their feelings. The length and frequency of these sessions can vary depending on the child's needs and the therapeutic goals.
While play therapy is most commonly used with children, there are variations and adaptations of this approach for adolescents and adults, where other forms of creative therapies may be used to facilitate emotional expression and healing.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY vs. GROUP THERAPY
The choice between individual therapy and group therapy is based on the specific needs and preferences of the client, as well as the goals of therapy. Both approaches have their unique benefits and limitations. Our therapists often assess individual cases to determine which format is most appropriate. In some cases, a combination of both individual and group therapy may be recommended to address various aspects of a client's needs.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
In individual therapy, our therapists can provide more focused one-to-one attention to the client. This allows for deeper exploration of personal issues and a more tailored therapeutic approach. Individual therapy is particularly beneficial when a client needs one-on-one support for highly personal or sensitive issues.
While individual therapy offers many customized advantages, it may lack the social interaction and group dynamics that can be therapeutic for some individuals. It may also be more costly than group therapy, which can limit accessibility for some clients.
Group THERAPY
Group creative arts therapy provides an opportunity for social interaction and peer support. Sharing experiences and creative expressions within a group can foster a sense of belonging and reduce feelings of isolation.
Diversity within groups provide a wide range of perspectives and insights which can enrich the therapeutic process by exposing clients to different viewpoints helping clients to realize that they are not alone in their struggles. Seeing others cope with similar issues and make progress can be reassuring and motivating.
Group therapy may not be suitable for individuals who have difficulty in social settings or who need highly personalized attention.
