Understanding Art Therapy

You don't need to be an artist to experience the benefits of art therapy.  It empowers individuals to explore their feelings and experiences through creative processes, rather than focusing on the outcome of the art. Art Therapy can be done via telehealth as well as in person.  

Emotional Growth

Studies show that our brains tend to process things first through imagery before words. This is why Art Therapy is an effective modality for emotional healing.

Healing Modalities

Rheana uses Self-Expression Emotion Regulation in Art Therapy Scale (SERATS) to work with different mediums of art that support the client in self expression.
