Art Therapy
At Anchored in Hope Counseling, we believe in fostering a variety of paths to mental wellness. That's why we're proud to offer art therapy alongside traditional talk therapy sessions. Art therapy is a powerful tool for self-expression, emotional exploration, and growth.
What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a form of mental health counseling that utilizes the creative process to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Led by Kayt Harden, certified art therapist and counselor, art therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings through artistic expression. This can be especially helpful for individuals who find it difficult to express themselves verbally.
