Mission

The Art Therapy Project is dedicated to helping trauma survivors through the creative process. Centered around challenges of Family, Violence and Health, we are the only nonprofit in New York dedicated solely to providing guided art therapy to those seeking hope and support. We go beyond traditional talk therapy. Our clients and art therapists work together to turn negative energy positive.

What We Do

Trauma is energy.

Trauma never leaves.

Traumatic energy can be highly negative.

Objects hold meaning.

Art objects mirror the minds of their creators.

Creating art channels the energy of trauma into objects.

Creating art expresses traumatic energy.

The trauma survivor experiences therapeutic transformation through the creation of art.

The process of self-transformation through art is our project.

Our art therapists guide this process.

We connect trauma survivors with art therapists.

Trauma survivors and art therapists work together to turn negative energy positive.
