Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of

art-making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional

well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts

and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.
