01 — What is art therapy exactly?

Art therapy is a form of therapy that uses art to help people express their emotions and explore their feelings. It recognizes that sometimes, it's hard to put our thoughts and experiences into words, but art can be a powerful way to communicate and heal. In art therapy, clients use different art materials like paint, drawing, or sculpture to explore their inner world and understand their emotions better. With the guidance of trained art therapists, this creative process helps individuals untangle their emotions, find strength in their stories, and grow as individuals. Art therapy can lead to a greater sense of well-being and empowerment as clients discover new insights about themselves and their lives. If you have any questions or are ready to start art therapy, feel free to contact me! Together, we can begin a transformative journey towards self-discovery and healing through art.

02 — Do I need to be an experienced artist?

Absolutely not! Art therapy services are open to individuals of all artistic abilities. Art therapists are skilled in working with various art materials and are here to support you throughout your creative process. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting, art therapy offers a safe and nurturing space for self-expression and healing. So, don't worry about your level of expertise – we're here to guide you on your unique art therapy journey.

03 — Are all sessions focused on fiber arts?

No, at Healing Threads Art Therapy Studio, LLC, while fiber arts are one of my passions and expertise, our sessions are not exclusively focused on that medium. Art therapy is a versatile and inclusive approach, and we can explore various forms of art based on your interests and preferences. If you are drawn to working with fiber arts, I am thrilled to incorporate that into our sessions. However, if you prefer to explore other art forms like painting, drawing, sculpture, or any other medium, we can absolutely do that too. The key is to create a customized and meaningful experience that resonates with you, allowing you to express yourself and find healing through the artistic process. So, whether it's with fibers or any other media, let's embark on this art therapy journey together!

04 — Are art materials provided?

At Healing Threads Art Therapy Studio, LLC, as we currently offer only virtual individual sessions, art materials are not provided during sessions. However, you can still participate using whatever art supplies you have available at home. Basic drawing materials such as pencils, markers, crayons, and paper are great starting points for your art therapy journey. If you are open to purchasing additional art materials, our art therapist can provide you with a list of recommended supplies that can enhance your sessions.

For group sessions and workshops, we will provide information about the materials that are provided and what participants may need to bring beforehand, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

05 — Do you accept insurance?

No, currently we do not accept insurance for our services. We operate on a private pay basis, and our fees are designed to make art therapy as accessible and affordable as possible for our clients.
