Groups are limited to 10 participants to keep the experience intimate, safe, and personal.
Artful Me: Art Therapy Group
Mondays 6:30 pm - 7:45 pm
Summer group: July 13-August 3
Fall group: October 12 - November 2
This 4-week group offers space to explore yourself through creative expression, reflection, and art-making. Each week introduces a new prompt and a different medium, there is no expectation of artistic skill. This is about noticing what comes up as you create and giving yourself permission to explore without judgment.
Through guided prompts and (optional) group discussion, you’ll use creativity as a way to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and inner experience.
You’ll practice:
• slowing down and noticing your internal experience
• using art as a tool for expression and reflection
• exploring emotions without needing to “figure them out”
• staying present with process over outcome
• connecting insight to everyday life
By the end of the group, you’ll leave with a deeper sense of self-awareness, new ways to support emotional regulation, and a creative practice you can return to when you need grounding, clarity, or expression.

Group Therapy FAQs
Why Group Therapy?
Group therapy offers connection, shared humanity, and perspective. You’ll learn from others’ stories, receive support, practice communication skills, and feel less alone in your journey. Many participants say group helped them feel seen in a way individual therapy never had.

Absolutely. Vulnerability is courageous. Our therapists create a warm, confidential, and supportive environment to help ease those nerves.
