Art Therapy

Art therapy gives individuals the opportunity to express their emotions and ideas

nonverbally in a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere.

During the art therapy group, individuals have access to a variety of art materials and are

given art therapy directives that focus on goals specific to the eating disorder recovery

process. Individuals are encouraged to discuss and process the symbolic imagery in their

artwork with their peers at the end of each session.

Art therapy directives focus on:

Exploring body image, self esteeem, and personal strengths

Challenging perfectionism and promoting creative problem solving

Identifying emotions and developing insight through imagery

Learning mindful, self-soothing coping skills to reduce stress and relieve anxiety

Strengthening interpersonal skills through group art making and murals

At Veritas Collaborative, individuals participate in art therapy groups and individual

sessions are available upon request.
