WHITNEY HARRIS, ART THERAPIST, MA
Seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or otherwise overwhelming emotions? Open Art Therapy might be the right fit for you or your teen. At Open Art Therapy, I, Whitney Harris, aim to provide tools and outlets of expression to know yourself deeper while practicing self-love and acceptance. I truly believe "what we feel, heals." I also believe that an enormous amount of healing can happen when you're in a nonjudgmental, authentic therapeutic relationship. I am confident in my ability to provide you and/or your teen this quality of care in individual and family services. If you wish to know more please feel free to browse my website or contact me with questions.
-Warmly, Whitney
“The task of therapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed. Expression is itself transformation; this is the message that art brings. The therapist then would be an artist of the soul, working with sufferers to enable them to find the proper container for their pain, the form in which it would be embodied.”
– Stephen K. Levine
ALL ABOUT ART THERAPY
According to the American Art Therapy Association, “Art therapy has the unique ability to unlock emotional expression by facilitating non-verbal communication. This is especially useful in cases where traditional psychotherapy has been ineffectual. Art therapy provides an alternative means of communicating for those who cannot find the words to express anxiety, pain or emotions as a result of trauma, combat, physical abuse, loss of brain function, depression, and other debilitating health conditions.” You do not have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. At Open Art Therapy, the journey is focused on the process rather than the destination.
