Explore Expressive Arts and Drama Therapy for Emotional Expression and Creativity

 

Drama Therapy: Unlock Your Creative Potential

Drama Therapy, accessible to all ages and skill levels, uses the transformative power of theater and the arts to address mental health issues like trauma, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, and interpersonal conflicts. This approach incorporates elements of psychodrama, narrative therapy, and Jungian concepts, empowering clients through playfulness, improvisation, character development, and more. By engaging in these dynamic exercises, clients tap into their subconscious, enabling emotional expression and healing without the need for verbal articulation.

Benefits and Practices of Drama Therapy

Our trained therapists, like Kathleen Moye, use creative expressive techniques such as metaphor, story-telling, perspective-taking, and embodied movement  to foster a deep understanding and expression of personal experiences. This method encourages clients to explore their emotions through creative movement and interaction, promoting insight and emotional release.

Supportive Modalities for Diverse Needs

In addition to Drama Therapy, our center offers Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Play Therapy, which are specialized modalities for young children and their caregivers to address trauma and enhance emotional and behavioral regulation through therapeutic connection and play.
