Session Description

Individual sessions are approximately 45-60 minutes long and groups (2-8 clients) are 30-90 minutes in duration.

​Length of therapy can be short-term, (1-6 sessions) to find solutions to immediate problems or it can also be used longer term (12 or more sessions) to address ongoing issues that may need some resolution. The Art Therapist works closely with clients to provide tailored verbal and/or therapeutic arts experiences for supported emotional expression.
