Art Therapy
Art Therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life-enhancing.
Through creating art, talking about art, and making art with an art therapist, a person can increase self-awareness, cope with symptoms, improve self-esteem, reduce stress and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of artistic creativity.
At Hassenfeld, daily playroom programs are designed to address the developmental challenges faced by children and their siblings during treatment.
Our Creative Arts Therapists use a variety of art techniques and materials to normalize the clinic environment, to provide opportunities for patients and siblings to socialize, to explore, and to express their feelings.
