Find Art Therapy Therapists & Counselors in Reading, PA.

 

Art therapy is a type of therapy that utilizes artistic processes in the process to improve mental well-being. Art therapy creates the space for you to express your feelings and thoughts through ways other than words and talking.

Some of the most common techniques that mental professionals employ in art therapy include:

  • Painting
  • Drawing
  • Clay sculpture
  • Coloring
  • Collage
  • Photography

For someone who struggles to express their emotions and experiences through words alone, art therapy enables them to express themselves through visual representations. Art therapy is often paired with other types of therapy to better get to the root of and heal from mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and eating disorders.

Whether you are located in downtown Reading, the suburbs of Reading, other nearby places such as Allentown, Philadelphia, or anywhere else in Pennsylvania, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Something to know about my approach is:

I think one of the roles counselors most frequently neglect is that of a teacher. If you're going to shell out money to talk to someone, they better offer you simple tools and techniques to utilize as you face the challenges before you.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am trained in Brainspotting, level 2, this is my most used technique. This is a focused mindfulness using a fixed eye position that is gentle and powerful. This takes therapy to a somatic/body based approach, as talk therapy is not always enough.
