Art therapy is a mental health profession in which you work with an art therapist (that would be me!) using art and the process of making art to improve your overall well-being. Art therapy can help you reduce anxiety and depression symptoms so you can be happier (isn’t that the main goal anyway?). Even though you are dealing with anxiety and / or depression, you can still have an enjoyable therapy experience. #arttherapy #anxiety #depression #adolescents #creativity #LivoniaMI #Livonia #metrode Deal With Anxiety, Reduce Anxiety, Depression Symptoms, Depression And Anxiety, What Is Art Therapy, Develop Social Skills, Art Therapist, Mental Health Professional, First Art
