Who is art therapy for?

What will we do in session?
Well, that is really up to you. Art therapy isn't just coloring books. Just as there are infinite ways of expressing oneself, there are infinite ways of conducting art therapy. Sessions could include such things as drawing, painting, sewing, collage, working with modeling clay, and much more.
