The Heart of our Work Creativity is Human Nature - Many people believe they aren’t "artistic," but creativity is so much broader than a canvas. For example, it can be a baker balancing flavors, a mechanic solving a puzzle under a car hood, a band creating a riff, a hiker finding peace in a meadow, or a friend coming up with a really witty joke. Creativity is simply problem-solving. We will utilize your innate creative instinct to help you navigate challenges and explore the landscape of your life. Whether you are painting, building, or exploring the metaphors of nature, you are actively participating in your own healing.
Art therapy exceeds the barriers of traditional talk therapy by allowing you to externalize what is internal. Metaphor allows us to look at difficult emotions from a distance, making them easier and emotionally ‘safer’ to understand and transform. By engaging your hands and your heart, we are bridging the gap between thinking and feeling.
Heart in Hand Healing Arts is a collaborative and non-judgmental collective. We believe that everyone possesses an inner "Creative Well" that can be tapped into for support. Our sessions offer an inquisitive and playful, metaphoric space to share and explore together, removing barriers and ensuring that care is accessible to all.
