Lewis Art Therapy Services
The Lewis Art Therapy Studio at Wellington Place will provide you with an emotionally safe environment and quality fine art supplies for engaging in Art Therapy.
Therapeutic benefit proceeds primarily from your non-verbal expression with art materials and our processing together of the artwork.
No art making experience is necessary or even desirable. You will be empowered to creative expression with the art materials to express for insight, your unique inner psychological world and its contents, such as memories, dreams, feelings, emotions, fantasy. The image then becomes the object of focus for both of us. Together we appreciate and process the artwork. The image guides our direction in addressing emotional, psychological or psychiatric issues and our treatment goals. This method also indicates our path for persons engaging in Art Therapy solely for reasons of personal growth. In the whole context of both conscious and unconscious determinants, you will experience therapeutic benefits that enhance your life experience.
Within this emotionally safe holding environment you relax and feel free to be yourself, secure in my unconditional positive regard.
My theoretical orientation in the practice of Art Therapy is grounded in the psychologies of both Dr. Carl Jung and Dr. Carl Rogers.
Often much happens in a short time. One reason is because, as they say, One picture is worth 10,000 words.
