Art, like music, offers a non-verbal, creative outlet for expression. When the two are joined together, the experience can be extremely powerful and offer insight into what is holding the mind and body captive. It can be a way to visualize goals, process trauma, and grow to love and celebrate yourself. We offer Art Within Music programming for children and adults.

This program can be rendered as music enrichment for individuals looking for a creative outlet for self-care and self-exploration. We also offer this program as part of an overall treatment plan under the supervision of a board certified music therapist and/or board certified art therapist. This program is extremely effective for children/ adolescents experiencing crisis and trauma related to abuse, neglect, divorce, grief, etc. For adults, this program can help process anxiety as it relates to relationships, domestic violence, work, and general anxiety/ depressive symptoms.

No previous art or music experience is required to participate in services. All materials are provided and interventions/ activities are designed to be accessible if this is your first or 100th time touching a paintbrush or a drum. Art experiences may include painting, scuplting, drawing, mandalas, collages, and more. Music experiences may included progressive muscle relaxation, drumming, therapeutic instrument play, lyric analysis, song-writing, and more.

Each experience is designed according to who is receiving services at the time and no two sessions will look exactly the same.

We also offer private art therapy services at our Southington clinic and in select cities. Contact us for more information.
