About Art Therapy
Art therapy is an approach that integrates creative expression, psychological understanding, and supportive helping practices.
It is not simply about making art. Through images, colors, lines, materials, and the creative process, individuals may express emotions, organize experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
In appropriate professional settings, art therapy-related approaches may be applied in education, mental health support, personal growth, group facilitation, and social service contexts.
