Creative Arts Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of art, music, dance, or poetry interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved Creative Arts Therapy program.

Through creative arts involvement in the therapeutic context, clients' abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Creative Arts Therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words.

Creative Arts Therapy improves the quality of life for people who are well and meets the needs of both children and adults with disabilities or illnesses. Research suggests that when applied by a qualified practitioner, Creative Arts Therapy interventions can:  

  • Promote Wellness

  • Manage Stress

  • Alleviate Pain

  • Increase Motivation to Become Engaged in Other Treatments/Activities

  • Promote Expression of Feelings

  • Improve Communication

  • Provide Emotional Support for Individuals and Their Families

Creative Arts Therapy is both an art and a science and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of all individuals and families.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
