What is Art Therapy?Healing through creation. Art therapy serves to improve or restore one’s functioning as well as one’s sense of personal well-being. With the guidance of an art therapist, clients use the creative process to create artwork. This allows participants to “explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.” 1
