CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY SOURCE
When it feels like you’ve tried everything to help manage your anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional challenges but nothing seems to work, art therapy can help bridge the gap between the emotions deep inside and the words that elude us.
At Creative Arts Therapy Source, we understand that sometimes words fall short in expressing how you feel.
Creative expression, whether it’s through drawing, painting, sculpting, or acting, offers a unique space to convey feelings that might be hard to verbalize. With art therapy, you’re given the tools and freedom to connect with your emotions in a pure, unfiltered manner. By simply picking up a brush, pencils, or molding clay, you create a gateway to a world where emotions flow organically and personal stories emerge.
We want every session to feel like a safe space where you can let go and dive into the healing journey.
Art therapy is a unique experience that goes beyond words. It offers an opportunity to tune into the feelings and sensations your body is trying to communicate. Rather than relying on logic or speech, art therapy allows you to dive deep into raw emotions, using creativity to express and understand your intuition.
In art therapy, we gently guide you on a path to discover what’s truly going on inside, going beyond logic to true emotion.
Art therapy offers individuals an opportunity to reflect on their feelings, emotions, and inner conflicts. By creating visual representations of your inner experiences, you can begin to understand your emotions, triggers, and coping strategies on a deeper level.
The act of creating can be inherently therapeutic, often acting as a form of meditation that allows you to disconnect from immediate stresses and anxieties. The rhythmic and repetitive motions of drawing, painting, or sculpting can induce a state of calm and relaxation.
Sometimes, words just don’t cut it. Whether it’s a swirl of colors or a unique sculpture, art lets you share feelings that might’ve been hard to put into words.
Making art engages many areas of the brain, including fine motor skills, problem-solving, and decision-making. For people facing memory challenges or wanting to stay sharp, art therapy can serve as a form of cognitive rehabilitation, stimulating brain activity and enhancing neural connectivity.
Art therapy provides a safe environment for you to confront and process difficult emotions. Whether it’s grief, trauma, sadness, or anger, expressing these feelings through art can be cathartic, allowing you to release deep-seated emotions and begin the healing process.
Art is full of surprises – challenges, twists, and turns. By navigating your way in the creative world, you’re also learning to handle life’s curveballs with grace and resilience.

WE BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A UNIQUE STORY AND SOMETIMES, WORDS JUST AREN'T ENOUGH TO TELL IT.
At Creative Arts Therapy Source, art isn’t just an activity; it’s a language that allows you to express your deepest emotions, fears, dreams, and hopes. Your artwork becomes a window that offers a comprehensive view into your pain, experiences, and the hopes you have for the future.
We want therapy to be a joyful, enlightening, and playful exploration where you are free to express yourself in a way that feels right to you. Talk therapy, with the support of art therapy, can help you uncover a new perspective.
We want to help you tell your story
Our first step is to truly understand your challenges, strengths, and needs. We will spend our first session learning your story and goals.
Together, we’ll tailor a plan with the approach that best resonates with your needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a personalized roadmap towards your well-being.
With regular sessions, we use art therapy and other psychotherapy modalities to continuously improve your well-being, supporting your journey toward lasting change.
Every person is unique, and comes to therapy with different needs. While we can’t guarantee specific results or a set timeline, we do know that with consistency, you may start to see improvements over time, such as:
No, you do not have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. And we believe that everyone can be creative. But art therapy is not about making a pretty picture or becoming a skilled artist. Art Therapy is about expressing yourself through the creative process and art materials provided by the therapist.
Art isn’t just for kids; it’s proven to be beneficial for the mental well-being of people of all ages. With art therapy, you can dive into feelings and thoughts that might be hiding just below the surface. It’s like giving a voice to things you might find hard to say. Through art, you can see things in a fresh way or find a new angle on something that’s been bothering you. And when we chat in therapy, combining it with your artwork can make our talks even more meaningful.
No. We combine both art-making and talking during your therapy sessions. An example of how a session might look would be you would converse with your therapist about a particular theme or topic that you are struggling with and your art therapist may be curious about what that situation might look like if you made a drawing about it. The elements in the drawing that you create can provide more information about exactly how you are feeling. Your art therapist can take you even deeper into how you are feeling to get to the source of your struggle so that you can have awareness and begin to make the changes necessary to heal.
Art therapy is a safe, accessible, and non threatening means to effectively communicate your thoughts and emotions. Your art therapist can take you even deeper into how you are feeling to get to the source of your struggle so that you can have awareness and begin to make the changes necessary to heal. Art therapy can be a relaxing respite from the overwhelm and chaos of everyday life.
No , you don’t have to. We provide all of the supplies you’ll need for art therapy.
