Art Therapy PRograms and Education
Devon’s art therapy sessions are fun, engaging and based in therapeutic practices. They celebrate expression and developing the skills to support each other, to speak about how art makes us feel, and explore how it can enable us to communicate to ourselves and others in safe and healthy ways. Learn how building mastery and expressing yourself through the arts can change your life for the better!
