Available Now:  Art Therapy for a wide range of mental health issues or purely for personal growth is now available. Art therapy is a specialized psychotherapeutic intervention to help relieve symptoms, gain insight, and enhance personal strengths. Working with me at the Holistic Health Counseling Center is Lauren Fallat, LPC ATR-BC, a professional counselor and art therapist.

Art Therapy is helpful to adults, children, teens, and college students.

If you have found traditional counseling not to be as helpful as hoped, I recommend trying Art Therapy. You do not have to be a creative person or an artist. Lauren will guide you and help you find relief from symptoms, gain insight to what underlies your issues, improve self-esteem, and facilitate self-growth. If you prefer to stick to traditional counseling, Lauren is an experienced licensed professional counselor.

The American Art Therapy Association defines Art Therapy as follows:

Art Therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship. Art Therapy, facilitated by a professional art therapist, effectively supports personal and relational treatment goals as well as community concerns. Art Therapy is used to improve cognitive and sensory-motor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance societal and ecological change. Art therapists are master-level clinicians who work with people of all ages across a broad spectrum of practice. Guided by ethical standards and scope of practice, their education and supervised training prepares them for culturally proficient work with diverse populations in a variety of settings. Honoring individuals’ values and beliefs, art therapists work with people who are challenged with medical and mental health problems, as well as individuals seeking emotional, creative, and spiritual growth.

Through integrative methods, art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone. Kinesthetic, sensory, perceptual, and symbolic opportunities invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Visual and symbolic expression gives voice to experience, and empowers individual, communal, and societal transformation.
