TEEN ART THERAPY GROUP with Art Therapy AK LLC

Do More Than Manage- understand your emotions, harness their power, and make change for good!

Life is about so much more than "managing your emotions." This group is a fusion of DBT and ACT enlivened through the powerful practice of art therapy. Participants will learn to access the critical information housed in strong emotions by practicing healthy self-regulation skills. All behavior is functional and when we understand and accept it, we can stop the self-blame and self-hate. All teens, ages 14-17 (18 if still enrolled in High School) are welcome.

This closed group will be offered in two sessions of 6 week blocks: September 13-October 18th and again November 1st-December 6th. The two blocks will offer different skills teaching and participants are welcome to attend one session or both. The group will be hosted on Tuesdays from 3:00pm-4:30pm at the Making Space studio.

This group is billable to most insurance companies with the exception of a one time $25 materials fee.
