At ITA, we believe that everyone has the potential to heal from emotional trauma or mental health issues. Our team of licensed therapists are trained in using creative arts therapies as a means to help individuals overcome their challenges. We offer individual sessions as well as group sessions for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art materials such as paint, clay or markers to help individuals express themselves creatively. Our art therapists work with clients to explore their emotions through visual expression. Art therapy can be particularly helpful for those who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally.
Music Therapy
Music has been used therapeutically for centuries due to its ability to evoke strong emotions in people. Music therapists at ITA use music interventions such as singing or playing instruments to help clients achieve therapeutic goals such as improving communication skills or reducing anxiety.
Dance/Movement Therapy
Dance/movement therapy is based on the idea that movement reflects an individual's emotional state. Our dance/movement therapists use movement exercises and improvisation techniques to help clients gain insight into their feelings and behaviors.
Drama Therapy
Drama therapy involves using role-playing techniques such as improvisation or scripted scenes to help clients explore different perspectives on their problems. Drama therapists at ITA work with clients individually or in groups using theater games and other techniques designed specifically for each client's needs.
Our Approach
At ITA we take an integrative approach towards healing by combining traditional talk therapies with creative arts therapies. We believe that this approach allows us to address our client's needs holistically by engaging both sides of the brain - logical thinking (left-brain) and creativity (right-brain).
Our team consists of licensed professionals who are trained in multiple modalities including psychology, social work, counseling psychology among others which enables us provide comprehensive care tailored specifically towards each client’s unique needs.
We also offer workshops throughout the year which are open not only our current clientele but also anyone interested in learning more about how creative arts therapies can be used therapeutically.
