Unlock Healing and Self-Discovery Through Art Therapy

Art Therapy in Reston, Virginia

Art therapy is a powerful, creative approach to healing that allows you to express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words.

Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space for self-exploration, emotional release, and personal growth through painting, drawing, collage, or other artistic mediums — even scribbles and stick figures can be part of the process.

You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy—it's about the process, not the final product. This therapeutic method can help reduce stress, improve emotional resilience, and foster self-awareness. It is especially helpful for those navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, including pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and parenthood.

At Alanna Betts Therapy, art therapy is offered as a standalone practice or integrated with other therapeutic approaches to support your unique healing journey. If you’re curious about how creative expression can help you process and heal, reach out to learn more.
