with Danielle McGrogan
Interested in using art in your clinical practice, but not sure where to begin? Join us for a workshop centered on Expressive Arts Therapy and creative interventions to use with clients. Expressive Arts Therapy is the multi-modal, integrative approach that promotes growth and healing through art.
In this workshop, we will explore the foundations and benefits of utilizing Expressive Arts Therapy – including processes from visual arts, music, movement, and psychodrama. Participants will engage in both didactic and experiential exercises during the training.
