Working Through
Our Unseen Selves
to a Place of Wholeness

Anyone can benefit from art therapy.

 

Art therapy can affect mental health in ways that other forms of therapy cannot. When words fail, when root causes are elusive, art therapy can provide access to the unconscious mind. From this locus, personal symbols evolve, and visual storytelling unfolds.

Art therapy sessions conducted at YAS are done in adherence to ethical guidelines set out by The American Art Therapy Association (AATA).

You Do Not Have To Be An Artist!

Some people panic at the thought of a blank canvas. Don’t worry. Part of what an art therapist does is determine the appropriate medium for the client’s use. This is a guided journey with many ways to get where you’re going. Representational painting is rarely, if ever, a starting point. Art therapy is a gentle practice that asks that you be receptive to new ideas but doesn’t push.

As an art therapist, Lilla guides people to a better understanding of themselves through art-making. Today, she is an art therapist who helps people of all ages and abilities to better understand themselves and solve problems through art making and mindfulness practices.
