Expressive ARTS Therapy in Action
"From a healing perspective, the more I understand the value of the process of art
and its ability to build up what has been torn down,
the more motivated I am to share its innate and perfect power to heal."
-Laura Oliver, MS, LPC, NCC, TITC-CT

"After our first, initial session with Laura’s program I was amazed how freely I opened up to follow her instructions and then to discover the result of creation and final personal interpretation of what came from my “artistic” drawing."

“I loved being part off Laura's expressive arts workshops. I’d never done any expressive art work before and I found it to be fun as well as deep and revealing work. Working in a group setting helped to set a tone of community and expressiveness. I loved and am grateful for the time to focus on art and growth. Thank you!”

"As an artist, taking Laura's journaling workshop helped me open up and realize it's not so much about the finished piece but the process, that it's okay to make mistakes, but rather to be fully emmersed in the process of creating no matter what the outcome is."
