How Creative Arts Therapists work
Creative arts therapists use active “making” with their trained modality - art, movement, sound, music, writing, role-play, embodied improvisation - plus the creative process and applied psychological theory within a psychotherapeutic relationship to ameliorate mental health symptoms for our clients.
No client arts-skills necessary
Clients do not need any arts experience or skill to partake in and benefit from creative arts therapies. Like any skilled therapist, we meet our clients where you are and use our techniques to empower and deepen your therapeutic process.
Why Creativity Belongs in Therapy
Humans are innately creative. Long before we had clinical language for emotion, trauma, or attachment, we used movement, rhythm, storytelling, image-making, and play to regulate, connect, and heal. Creativity is not an add-on to wellness—it is foundational to how humans process experience and make meaning.
Traditional talk therapy alone can unintentionally privilege verbal fluency, cognitive insight, and linear narratives. Arts-based interventions widen access to healing by engaging the body, imagination, nervous system, and relational dynamics. They offer multiple pathways for expression, particularly when words are unavailable, unsafe, or insufficient.
Creative processes:
Support nervous system regulation
Allow symbolic and nonverbal expression
Increase emotional flexibility and agency
Strengthen relational attunement and play
Foster meaning-making and integration
A Note on our Collaborative Model with AiC Artists
Our creative arts therapists often co-create and co-lead services with our therapeutic arts practitioners. They also refer to our artists’ programming to deepen therapeutic work through accessible, non-clinical community-based creative experiences. There is no hierarchy with services - our priority is to find the most accessible on-ramp for each client’s needs.
