Art Talk Services
Groups
Art Talk offers a variety of Art as Therapy groups for young adults.
All of our groups provide the ability to connect, learn, and grow with like-minded people in a nonjudgmental space where others dealing with similar problems can feel safe to share their experiences.
“Not only did the group teach me so much, but it held space to explore and discuss transformative topics freely and openly.”
Create. Connect. Heal.
- Group work - brings a deeper level of connection that individual therapy doesn’t always provide – and utilizing art within a group brings the connectivity to a whole other level.
- Art is a tool - that allows us to be honest with ourselves, and most importantly, art is a tool that allows us to connect to our nervous system while simultaneously tapping into our authentic selves.
- Art regulates the nervous system - through the mind-body connection – bringing the body to a calmer, more balanced state.
- Just like our individual services - in group, the art-making process is combined with cognitive-behavioral theories, in order to help identify and restructure unhealthy patterns. By exposing these patterns through art, we can start creating new, healthier thought patterns that will lead to a better quality of life.
Some other things to know…
Art as Therapy groups work best for people with all kinds of art experience – in fact, having little to no art experience can be beneficial because it will allow you to focus on the connection that the art-making process provides.
Art Talk naturally provides a safe, creative, and supportive environment for everyone. All groups are intended to be confidential, and all members are expected to respect that aspect.
Groups are currently only being offered in person at 221 Spring St. Newport, RI
Check our social media for updates on groups offered or inquire for a private group!
