Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
Art and Play comes naturally to children and puts them at ease, making it more possible for them to tackle challenges and concerns than traditional talk therapy.
Art therapy facilities social, emotional, and cognitive development, allowing a child to move further towards reaching their true potentials.
Creative arts psychotherapy positively affects mood, cognition and behavior. This is particularly evident in children with special needs, PTSD, developmental disabilities, and other mental and behavioral health conditions or those dealing with grief, divorce, bullying, and other challenges.
Involvement in art activities also allows kids to grow confidence. It’s a way to open up dialogue about situations that may be hard to deal with or share. Articulating their emotions in a creative way can be both therapeutic and insightful.
Expression through art is a way to help these kids identify and broach otherwise difficult to understand emotions, feel a sense of normalcy without judgment, while also allowing them to show their individual personality and bring attention to their strengths.

Imagine having your childhood and teen years recorded LIVE in front of an audience, because that’s basically what kids in our ever increasingly digital world are navigating daily. There is collective anxiety regarding the world they will inherit - climate, race, social media, the economy, oh yeah and college applications. For people still developing their pre-frontal cortex, they are having to manage a lot decisions with long term outcomes.
Therapy gives kids and teens the opportunity to take an active role in their health care with a trusted adult who isn’t a family member or teacher. The coping skills and personal insights they develop now, they will carry with them into their adulthood.
