You might benefit from art therapy if:

 

• You have ever felt stuck in traditional talk therapy

• You’ve had an overwhelming experience that you can’t process with words

• You’d prefer to express yourself non-verbally

• Art has always been a natural way of expression for you

• OR you’ve never done art before (art therapy can be great either way!)
