What is Expressive Arts Therapy?
Expressive Arts Therapy is a multimodal therapeutic approach that uses creative forms like painting, music, writing, dance, and drama to help individuals express emotions, process trauma, and improve mental wellbeing. It's especially powerful when words alone aren't enough.
At Calida Rehab, Expressive Arts Therapy is integrated into both individual and group sessions. It allows clients to explore their inner experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space, and is suitable for all ages — no artistic skill required.
Modalities We Offer:
-
Art Therapy – Drawing, painting, clay, and collage
-
Writing Therapy – Journaling, poetry, storytelling
-
Drama Therapy – Role-play, psychodrama, guided expression
-
Dance/Movement Therapy – Healing through body and rhythm
-
Music Therapy – Guided listening, instrument play, sound release
Who Can Benefit from Expressive Arts Therapy?
-
Individuals struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety, or grief
-
Children, teens, or elderly with difficulty verbalizing emotions
-
Clients in addiction recovery or healing from emotional numbness
-
Anyone looking to reconnect with their inner voice and identity
Why Choose Calida Rehab for Expressive Arts Therapy?
At Calida Rehab, we believe healing is not limited to talk therapy. Some emotions live in the body. Some wounds are stored in silence. Expressive Arts Therapy provides a non-verbal, creative outlet that allows clients to explore feelings they may not even realize they're holding.
Unlike programs that use only one art form, our therapists are trained to integrate multiple creative practices based on each client's comfort level, emotional needs, and interests.
-
Sessions are guided by licensed expressive arts therapists.
-
Trauma-informed care ensures emotional safety and regulation.
-
Therapy is not about the quality of art — it's about what the process unlocks.
