Description
This hands-on workshop is designed for mental health professionals who want to incorporate art therapy techniques into their practice to strengthen client engagement and improve therapeutic outcomes. Art therapy offers a powerful, nonverbal way for clients to express emotions that may feel too difficult to put into words. This can be especially helpful when cultural expectations and emotional boundaries can make verbal processing challenging. Through creative exploration, clients are able to express complex feelings in a safe and supportive environment, leading to deeper understanding and healing.
Participants will gain a solid understanding of the principles of art therapy and how to integrate these techniques into their current therapeutic approach. The workshop will include a hands-on art experiential, giving attendees the opportunity to create their own artwork and learn how to analyze it through a therapeutic lens. We'll also explore how to use art to guide conversations in session, helping clients process emotions and experiences in a more accessible and meaningful way. In addition, participants will learn a variety of art-based assessments and interventions that can be adapted for different ages and clinical needs. By the end of the workshop, clinicians will leave with practical tools to enhance emotional expression, deepen client insight, and build resilience.
