Art Therapy in Hamilton for Children, Teens and Adults

Art therapy uses creativity and art-making to help people explore thoughts and feelings, work through life's challenges, and discover new ways of understanding themselves. You don't need any artistic experience -the focus is on the creative process, not on producing a finished artwork.

At Arts for Health, our services are provided by registered arts therapists and supervised student arts therapists. You will experience a safe, welcoming environment where children, young people, and adults can express themselves through creativity, explore difficult experiences, and develop practical ways of moving forward.

Whether you're looking for individual art therapy, group art therapy, or art therapy for children, we offer a range of services designed to meet different needs and stages of life.

• No artistic experience is needed.

• Sessions are guided by a qualified art therapist.

• All art materials are provided.

• You work at your own pace.

• The focus is on the creative process, not artistic ability.
