Creative Hearts Program

Using play, expressive arts, and curiosity to build connections in a small group setting

The mission of our Creative Hearts Program is to offer opportunities for each person to grow as the beautiful humans that they are, in a manner that feels good in their system (body, mind, & soul) through the use of an experiential group environment designed to support their individuality. 

Our groups will explore a variety of experiential materials, processes, and topics in order to provide accessibility to each participant. Participants are encouraged to discover a range of personal benefits of the groups by empowering each individual to choose what suits them. Within the group format, individuals can experience a sense of connection with their peers and celebrate one another as they are.  

All individuals are welcome to join.

We ask that participants with higher needs requiring 1:1 provide their own support or arrange support through our administrator. This allows for the maximum amount of engagement among the group members and activities. Please reach out if you have any questions! info@creativeforcestherapy.com

  • Individuals can feel empowered by their success in developing interpersonal skills within the group.

  • Group work can provide an overall sense of community and reduce feelings of isolation.

Group Offerings

Art as Wellness

Wellness can be achieved in a number of ways. In this group, participants will come together to make connections and express themselves creatively by engaging with a variety of art mediums and processes. Creating art can increase feelings of empowerment and can help young minds explore who they are. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to use art as a tool to regulate their bodies, communicate, problem-solve, advocate for their own needs, and much more!
