Every art therapy session may look a little different depending on the needs or goals of the participant but will most often begin with some communication between the participant and the therapist and then will move into art making or creative expression for majority if the session, followed by some reflection before wrapping up together. However, if the participant does not want to talk that's also okay! An art therapy session may involve painting or drawing, clay-making, walking in the park or even playing games. Sessions are tailored to the participants individual needs, goals, and comfort level, and may be structured or open-ended depending on what feels most supportive to the individual.
