What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses creative activities to help children and teens express emotions and explore their feelings. Whether through drawing, painting, or sculpting, children can engage in a creative process that allows them to express emotions they may not be able to verbalize. Art therapy helps young people process trauma, anxiety, and behavioral challenges in a constructive and safe way.

Art therapy is a powerful tool for children and teens who struggle with verbal communication or feel overwhelmed by their emotions. By creating art, they can begin to understand and express their feelings in a way that is both therapeutic and meaningful.

How Art Therapy Works

In an art therapy session at Kyds Miami Therapy, children and teens are encouraged to create artwork that reflects their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. This creative process is guided by our licensed art therapists, who help children interpret their artwork and explore underlying emotions. The artwork becomes a medium for self-expression and reflection.

Art therapy is not about artistic skill—it’s about using creative activities to explore emotions in a non-threatening way. Our therapists work alongside each child, offering support and helping them make connections between their artwork and their emotional state.
