For whom are arts therapies suitable?
​
In principle, for everyone. It doesn't matter if you are old or young, there is no age limit. You don't even need to have a special artistic talent to benefit from a treatment with art therapy, but it helps if you like the approach/medium.
Creative media enhance your expressive power and possibilities, especially for things that are difficult to put into words.
They expand your self-awareness and knowledge, and help you find creative ways to deal with your problems as you discover and activate your own coping skills.
However, a thorough assessment should always take place before starting therapy.
