Group Art Therapy & Counseling

We rotate our groups regularly and offer both counseling process and art therapy groups.

Our clinicians run the groups and draw on their specific skills, expertise, and interests.

We offer virtual and in-person groups.

A group setting can be a versatile tool to get to know yourself. Group therapy offers a unique perspective and a sense of community.

Sharing space, crayons, and oil pastels with new acquaintances can be affirming and help combat loneliness.
