Child Therapy

Children may not have the language skills to express themselves, but they still have a voice. Art gives them permission through their natural inclination of creative expression, to communicate experiences or emotions, especially when verbalization through talking alone may be unsuccessful. Strong emotional states often bottled up inside such as anger, sadness, and fear can become visible through the child’s art and initiate further exploration and understanding about its meaning. Putting their feelings into an art project gives children a safe outlet for negative emotions. But expressive arts aren’t just for coping, they also have great effects on a child’s normal development.

Art therapy at Rise Therapy Center provides children with a powerful outlet for self-expression and emotional healing. Many children may struggle to articulate their feelings through words alone, especially when facing complex emotions or experiences. Through various art forms such as painting, drawing, and sculpting, our skilled art therapists empower children to communicate and process their emotions in a supportive environment. At Rise Therapy Center, our art therapists collaborate closely with families and other professionals involved in a child's care to ensure comprehensive support. Whether addressing trauma, anxiety, behavioral challenges, or developmental delays, art therapy is a versatile tool that promotes healing and growth in children of all ages.
