UnMasked Expressive Therapies provides a variety of services for adults.

While many adults are scared of "art" and feel they are no longer creative, because they "can't draw a straight line". In truth, the human brain never ceases to be creative: in the way we move, in the way we dress, even the pattern of the words we choose.

Art Therapy utilizes much scribbling and playful mess making as a means to find new understanding in life's messes. Just as children explore the world through mess making, art therapy can use a multitude of creative modalities to access the non-verbal emotion rich center of the brain as a means to uncover old and create new life stories.

Trauma and emotions are stored in the non-verbal portion of the brain in visual and sensory memories. When creative activity is utilized to express these images, it can be removed from the body and resolved.
