Personalized and group approaches for mental and emotional well-being

Wellness therapies are complementary approaches to help individuals express emotions, thoughts, and experiences, which may be difficult to articulate. This can support individuals with mental health issues to communicate, manage symptoms, and develop coping skills. As a dedicated provider of mental wellness services in Virginia, we offer various therapeutic modalities—such as exercise, art therapy, and expressive therapy, that are incorporated into integrative treatment plans, along with medication management, psychotherapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

  1. Using art and creative expression to process and explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences; for example, a patient may create a painting or drawing to represent their feelings or thoughts that they haven’t been able to express verbally.
  2. Using art and creative expression as a form of communication, for example, a patient may use art to express their experiences of trauma or abuse, which may be difficult for them to talk about.
  3. Incorporating movement and dance therapy with expressive therapies; may include activities such as dance or movement therapy, which can help individuals express their emotions and feelings through their bodies.
  4. Incorporating art therapy and expressive therapy into integrative psychiatry can provide patients with additional tools for managing their mental health and further support their healing and recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is expressive therapy, and how does it work?
Expressive therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses creative outlets such as art, movement, and music to help individuals process emotions and experiences. It encourages self-expression and exploration, providing a powerful way to understand and heal from emotional struggles.
Do I need to be “good” at art to benefit from expressive therapy?
Artistic skills are not necessary to benefit from expressive therapy. The focus is on emotional expression rather than technical ability. We emphasize the creative process, allowing anyone, regardless of their artistic background, to engage in therapy and explore their emotions freely.
Do I need to have prior experience with therapy before starting expressive therapy?
Prior experience with therapy is not required. Whether you are new to therapy or have previous experience, expressive therapy can be a great starting point or a complement to other therapeutic practices tailored to fit your individual needs.
How do I know if expressive therapy is the right fit for me?
If you find it difficult to express emotions verbally or if you feel disconnected from your feelings, expressive therapy may be a great option. We encourage you to talk with us to explore if this approach is the best fit for your personal needs.
How does expressive therapy differ from other forms of therapy?
Expressive therapy focuses on using creative activities to explore emotions, while other therapies may rely more heavily on verbal communication. It’s ideal for individuals who find it difficult to express their emotions through words alone.
