Expressive arts therapy is a humanistic, multimodal therapeutic approach that integrates a variety of creative expressions—such as visual art, music, movement, drama, poetry, and more—to foster emotional healing, personal growth, and resilience. Rather than focusing on producing aesthetically pleasing work, the emphasis lies in the creative process itself, offering a way to explore and communicate experiences that may be difficult to articulate through words alone.

Rooted in humanistic psychology, particularly through the pioneering work of Natalie Rogers (daughter of Carl Rogers), person-centered expressive arts therapy encourages safety, presence, and unconditional positive regard. The therapist supports clients in engaging with their inner worlds through multiple artistic modes, facilitating self-discovery and emotional clarity in a compassionate, client-led environment
