High School Art Therapy Groups

Who & What: This Art Therapy Group provides an opportunity for teens  in 9th – 12th grade to develop self-awareness and expression by using art materials as a communication tool. Teens will be asked to use art materials to express and process emotions and thoughts in a safe environment with supportive peers. The Art Therapy Group is led by Victoria Manheim, LPC and Art Therapist.  Teens will create art for the first hour, and process their artwork the last half hour, by discussing their experience creating the art and what the artwork represents to them.
