What is Art Therapy?

For those who are new to art-making, or those who enjoy creative expression of any kind, art therapy offers a uniquely direct way of engaging a person’s unspoken feelings and unresolved experiences using a number of creative modalities. Combining creative and visual expression with psychotherapy, this approach is a powerful outlet for those who can’t easily express their feelings and life reflections in words.

Art therapy can lead to a deepened understanding of a person’s own strengths and fears, re-establishing the inner control that is the ground of human freedom and thriving.

John Muraco brings his experience in Art Education, the performing arts, movement, and his Masters Degree in Art Therapy to the table when working with your child. He is currently taking new clients 11-14 years of age, but also works creative modalities into his work with adults. He encourages anyone who may think this could be helpful to reach out for a free consultation via email. John@heartwellhouse.com

Our Expressive therapy methods can include drawing, painting, movement, music, photography, simple sculpture and writing; unlike most art classes, these therapies are open-ended in length, and open in the use of any medium or media.
