How does it work?

Tele-art therapy offers the convenience of engaging in creative mental health care or personal development from the comfort and security of your own home. The content of each session varies greatly due to the individualized, spontaneous nature of person-centered art therapy. In most cases, clients do the majority of the art-making while the art therapist skillfully supports and bears witness to the psychotherapeutic process as it manifests through creative expression.

While certain artwork produced might serve as a constructive tool or reference point to gauge progress and growth as psychotherapy goals are achieved, art therapy almost always emphasizes “process” over “product.” Art skills are not required to engage in art therapy, as the very essence of art therapy revolves around the power of discovery and intuition. Although art instruction is not given, the art therapist can provide tips on technique in support of a desired outcome.
