Healing Through The Arts: Expressive Therapy
Rooted in the fine arts, expressive therapy brings personal
release and healing to individuals of all ages, developmental
abilities and artistic talents. Whether in the form of art,
music or movement, the therapeutic forces of expression foster
creativity, deepen self-understanding and build the foundation
for lifelong wellness. By aligning creative methods like painting,
yoga, dance, music and imagery with verbal exploration, healing
through the arts transcends the physical to explore the psychological,
emotional and spiritual issues in your life.
Benefits of healing through the arts include:
- Behavior management
- Pain management during cancer treatment, child labor and
surgical recovery
- Problem-solving skill development
- Self-understanding
- Social skill development
- Stress reduction
Behavioral Health Services
Founded in psychology, behavioral medicine examines how an
individual thinks, feels and acts. Through transformational
and transpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy,
biofeedback, relaxation techniques and hypnosis, clients bring
balance back into their lives by integrating their thinking
with their emotions and behaviors.
Behavioral health services benefit:
- Individuals seeking psychological clarity in dealing with
a life challenge or a major life change.
- Psychological disorders by helping clients adjust their
thinking as they learn to control bodily processes like
mood, concentration and memory.
- Neurological disorders like hyperactivity and attention
deficit disorder by normalizing neurological functioning
to more effectively process information and sensory stimuli.
- Conditions like stress, depression, chronic pain and sexual
dysfunction through hypnosis, a state of focused attention
that is both natural and safe.
