"Art Therapy is an exploration and expression of the self through creativity. At Jefferson Oaks, you will have the opportunity to engage in individual and group Art Therapy. Your Art Therapist will utilize creativity, applied psychological theory, and self-expression in the context of a professional, psychotherapy relationship for growth and healing. Working with an Art Therapist may include painting, collage, clay, and many other media, as well as incorporating movement, sound, and light among additional elements. Creativity is endless, as is your capacity for healing.
