Art Therapy + Mindful Therapy
Manhattan & Eastchester
Cultivating inner peace and healing through Mindful therapy
At Davenport Creative Arts Therapy, we believe that in order to transform your mental health, you can’t simply address thoughts. That’s why we combined creative, cognitive, mind-body, and behavioral methods.
We help children, teens and young adults thrive by blending Art Therapy with Mindfulness.
We use Mindfulness and Art Therapy to help children, teens and adults thrive.
As Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, we’ll harness the power of Mindfulness in sessions in the following ways:
Breathwork
Guided Visualization
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Trauma Informed Meditation
Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy
The power of combining Mindfulness and Art Therapy
When Mindfulness and Art Therapy are integrated, a profound synergy occurs. Mindfulness practices are integrated into art therapy exercises (and outside of them), to help individuals observe their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations as they arise, without judgment.
Art helps you stay in the present moment. By staying fully present in the moment, individuals reduce rumination about the past, and worry about the future. The combination of mindfulness in art therapy fosters self-compassion, and self-acceptance, allowing individuals struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma to develop insights, greater coping, regulate emotions, and reducing reactivity.
