Parents
Is your teen struggling? Does going to school create anxiety and distress? Is your teen having difficulty navigating friendships and relationships?
The teen years are fraught with many challenges, changes and decisions, in just a few short years. Young people are figuring out who they are, what is important to them, and who they want in their world. And sometimes the confusing storm of emotions swirling around inside of them can be overwhelming and hard to express.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is particularly well-suited to young people because it can help them explore and communicate feelings and experiences in a way that goes beyond words and that bypasses conscious defenses. Art therapy has numerous benefits.
It can help your teen:
- Enhance self-awareness
- Boost self-esteem
- Gain clarity and new perspectives
- Move through troubling situations and identify new solutions
- Process and share scary feelings or experiences
- Relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression
