Have you ever watched a young child drawing with markers or crayons on a blank piece of paper? They seem to be able to just let go and scribble on and on without a care in the world. This is rarely matched by an adult. And why would an adult want to doodle for no reason anyway?

Because there might be a purpose to Art after all!

Art Therapy is a widely used form of therapy using both the creative process and psychotherapy to elicit a healing response in the patient. By using simple tools like the ones found in any child’s craft box like crayons, markers, colored pencils, and paints, a professional Art Therapist can help a patient discover and deal with internal emotional turmoil. Art Therapy is Frequently used in mental health clinics, but can also be found in more casual places like art studios.
