What Happens in an Art Therapy Session?

Art therapy sessions are designed to meet each individual’s needs, following a client-centered approach inspired by Carl Rogers. This philosophy trusts that you are the expert on your own life, and together we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

A session may incorporate techniques such as guided grounding or visualization exercises, and artistic exploration. The structure of a typical session might include:

A chance to share any immediate thoughts, feelings, or concerns.
Breathing or centering activities to help with focus and nervous system regulation.
Time dedicated to creating art as a way to explore emotions and experiences. The artwork can be self directed or prompted in response to the opening check in.
A moment to reflect on the creative process, discuss insights, associations, and set intentions for future sessions.
