Ongoing Art Therapy

Ongoing Art Therapy Program Descriptions

These programs are for those who would like a regular opportunity for growth and support. You may start anytime and continue for as long as is useful.

Private

Sessions will be arranged at a morning or afternoon time suitable to you and at a frequency of your choice, usually once a week, or every other week. There is no pre-set plan. At each session, you decide your own topic(s) taken from your daily life. Through spontaneous art-making you can heal, re-direct and move forward. The cost for a private session of 75 minutes is on a sliding scale - $15 minimum per session.

Groups

Session times and costs are given with the program description. Each group has a set format, but is it flexible enough to accommodate individual differences. Where no time is shown, a time will be set to suit those registering. Phone with your request.
