Group Art Therapy
We create, share, explore and heal.
I am always touched by how art can directly relieve the human spirit.
Hearτ ♥ & ART Therapy Therapy follows therapeutic methods that honor the diversity and individuality in everyone involved in therapy.
Group Art Therapy is a transformative relational journey that allows inner explorations, discovers hidden strengths and find solace in the beauty of self-discovery and sharing.
In Group Art Therapy, we relate to other members, we create, we interact, we learn to respect the limits and needs of each one in the group as well as our personal limits and needs. What is experienced in the here and now within the group is a microcosm of behaviors and mental processes originating from the important relationships of our life.
Group Art Therapy gives the opportunity for revision, acceptance and deep self-knowledge through a process of profound exploration, always respecting the rhythm of each person in therapy.
“The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help.”
Why Group Art Psychotherapy

No prior need for any painting skill is required.

Trust Heart ♥ & ART Therapy
Creation
With my hands and my whole body as a creative guide I connect with the unconscious and retrieve my images and symbols; I interpret them physically, mentally, psychically and emotionally and enrich my sense of self.
Self knowledge
I shed light on my inner world, discover and accept my unexplored aspects. I go into the source of my relational, emotional and behavioral patterns and transform them.
Relationships
I understand my personal life story in relation to the others and my loved ones, I strengthen the way of coexistence through the acceptance of myself and the diverse ways of being.
