Daniella Lahat Expressive Art Therapist

“Art is a wound turned into light”

-Georges Braque-

"Expressive arts help people discover just what forms of expression will be self-regulating, communicate their experiences in reparative ways, imagine restorative narratives, and ultimately support recovery."

 (Cathy Malchiodi)

Art therapy is the deliberate use of art-making to address psychological and emotional needs, facilitated by an Art Therapist. Art therapy uses art media and the creative process to help in areas such as, but not limited to: fostering self-expression, create coping skills, manage stress, and strengthen sense of self.  Art therapy has provided mental health treatment for people who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, depression, chronic illness, and more.

Art therapists are Master level mental health professionals trained in the use of art and media, as well as psychological and therapeutic approaches. I have over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults.
