Creative & Holistic Therapies

Creative & Holistic Therapies

Creative and holistic therapies use non-verbal expression, body-based awareness, and alternative healing practices to help individuals process emotions and improve well-being. These therapies often encourage self-discovery through art, movement, music, or spiritual exploration, and are especially helpful for those who find talking difficult or limiting.
