Program Overview

Create Alongside Others Without Having to Perform

Group art therapy combines creative expression with psychotherapy and shared reflection. Activities can help teens notice emotions, externalize worry, reconnect with interests, and discover that difficult experiences are not theirs alone.

No artistic skill is required. Participation, privacy, and group agreements are reviewed before the program begins.
