Art therapy offers a creative way to explore emotions, reduce stress, and promote healing—especially when words aren’t enough. You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from this process. Through painting, drawing, collage, or other creative methods, you can express feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. Art therapy helps reveal inner thoughts, relieve anxiety, and reconnect you with a sense of self-expression and calm. It can be especially effective for those struggling with trauma, anxiety, or emotional blocks that prevent communication.
At Greenpoint Mental Health, Joanna Kabat-Rey, LMHC, LCAT, CASAC, ICADC, integrates art therapy into psychotherapy sessions to help clients unlock insight and resilience. This creative process is guided, intentional, and therapeutic—allowing emotions to surface safely and meaningfully. Each session encourages curiosity and reflection rather than judgment or performance. Art becomes a bridge between inner experience and conscious understanding, leading to emotional release and personal growth.
