Art Therapy Support Groups in Pennsylvania

This group supports teen girls experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress through a blend of Art Therapy and CBT-based coping skills. Each session includes a calming warm-up, a guided art activity to explore emotions, optional reflection, and a brief, practical CBT strategy teens can use outside of group. Art-making helps participants express feelings, reduce tension, and increase self-awareness, while CBT skills focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, improving emotion regulation, and building confidence. The group offers a safe, encouraging space where teens can connect with peers, feel understood, and strengthen healthy coping tools through creativity and structured support.

Inspired by Braving the Thin Places and Elva Hurst’s Chalk Talk, this gathering explores “thin places”—moments of transition where old stories loosen and new meaning begins to form. Through chalk art, narrative reflection, and visual metaphor, participants are invited to pause at life’s pivots, including grief, uncertainty, and change. As images slowly emerge, the process mirrors how meaning takes shape during times of becoming. This evening offers a gentle, contemplative space to notice, reflect, and create. February 6, 2026 | 6:00 PM Barnyard Art Studio, Lititz, PA Fee: $70 | Registration: 717-807-6100
