No Artistic Skills Required

One of the beauties of art therapy is that no prior artistic skills are necessary. Opus Health’s art therapy program is inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of their level of artistic experience. The focus is on the process of creation and self-discovery rather than on the quality of the art produced.

How Art Therapy Works

The Creative Process

Art therapy sessions often begin with a prompt or theme that encourages clients to delve into their thoughts and emotions. The creative process itself becomes a means of exploration and healing. As clients create their art, they may uncover insights and feelings that they were not consciously aware of before.

Processing and Reflection

After the art-making phase, clients engage in a guided discussion with the therapist to reflect on their creations. This stage allows clients to explore the emotions and meanings that have emerged during the process.

Integration

The insights gained during the art therapy session can be integrated into daily life, helping clients manage their emotions, make positive changes, and enhance their overall well-being.
