What Exactly is Art Therapy?

Art therapy combines allopathic and complementary therapies to better serve mental health and concentration which enriches lives through active artmaking, creative process, and human experience within a therapeutic relationship. Art therapists work in hospitals, schools, community clinics, senior and assisted living communities, and more. Art therapy is especially beneficial for seniors in memory care. Through drawing, painting, sculpting, collaging, and other methods, art therapy allows for creative expression that can overcome the limitations of language only.
