Art Therapy

Healing Through Creative Exploration

At Star City Recovery, art therapy offers individuals a powerful and unique way to process emotions, explore trauma, and engage in meaningful healing through creative expression. This nonverbal approach is especially helpful for those who find it difficult to articulate their thoughts through traditional talk therapy.

Led by licensed art therapists, our sessions guide clients through painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and other artistic forms to support emotional release, self-discovery, and personal growth during recovery.

A Therapeutic Outlet Beyond Words

What Is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a clinical practice that uses the creative process to foster emotional insight, healing, and self-expression. It is not about artistic skill—it’s about using art to reflect, release, and rebuild. This practice is especially effective for individuals managing substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, or depression.

At Star City, art therapy helps clients explore difficult feelings, recognize internal patterns, and uncover the roots of emotional distress in a safe, supportive space.

How Art Therapy Enhances the Recovery Process

Art Therapy serves as a meaningful bridge between the emotional and physical self, helping clients reconnect with their feelings, identity, and inner voice in ways that support long-term healing.

Take The First Step

Reconnecting Emotionally and Creatively

Dual Diagnosis Support

Art therapy benefits individuals facing co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions, offering a safe space to process and regulate intense emotions.

Safe Emotional Expression

Creative work allows clients to express pain, anger, shame, or grief without judgment—fostering emotional balance and internal relief.

Improved Self-Awareness

Clients develop a deeper understanding of their triggers, behavior patterns, and personal history through visual storytelling and symbolism.
