Art Therapy: where Psychotherapy and Creativity Converge Words are our primary method of communication, but often words can not express the complexity of our internal and emotional lives. The process of art-making provides us with a means to our subconscious that is unrefined and uncensored.

It is about the process, not the final product. Plus, being creative is therapeutic, in and of itself.
