My Project

One of the most difficult things to do is engage teenagers in counseling. Getting them to a place where they feel comfortable enough to confide in their counselor often takes numerous sessions. I have found that painting and crafts, in addition to easing the discomfort of opening up, have proven therapeutic value.

Artistic outlets like painting, allow a space for kids to explore their emotions, relieve stress, and develop coping skills.

They learn to enjoy therapy and are more apt to meet their goals when they have fun in the process.
