Psychotherapy and Creative Arts Therapy in Toronto

Insight and Healing Through Creativity

Creative Arts Therapy is a branch of psychotherapy which integrates artistic mediums and psychotherapeutic tools, in order to facilitate self-expression, self-discovery, and communication. Metaphor, projection, and distancing techniques are used to help the client gain new perspectives on difficult issues, as well as to find new channels for emotional expression.

The therapeutic approach that Beth Stevenson uses is incredibly flexible, allowing for each individual to go at his or her own pace, within a safe and contained environment. The emotional material remains within the space, rather than allowing the client to leave the session feeling overwhelmed and burdened.

Each client is aided in working through difficult personal material, as well as to develop communication skills, to heighten self-esteem, increase autonomy and self awareness, to develop a sense of self, and to express emotions. No artistic skill is necessary, as therapeutic benefits are derived from the process, rather than the product. Through creativity, each individual becomes more in touch with his or her own instincts, gaining spontaneity and self-trust.
