Creative Journeys for Seniors’ Wellbeing
Explore our tailored art therapy sessions that nurture creativity and foster meaningful connections among older adults.
Hands-On Art Therapy Groups
Art therapy groups are a highly beneficial addition to any community’s activity program. The art materials and projects are based on the needs and interests of the group members, and change each week. We may draw, paint, sculpt, weave, and much more! Art materials are provided by me and included in the cost of the session. Best for Assisted Living and Memory Care.
$150 per session – Up to 12 participants
Engaging Art Discussion Groups
Art discussion groups are based on the Meet Me at MOMA and Visual Thinking Strategies models. Presentations are theme-based (e.g. Portraiture, Art of Georgia O’Keefe, Surrealism, etc.) and include 5 images. Participants are asked to observe and comment on different aspects of the art, and a lively discussion ensues. This is an active participation group, rather than an art history lecture. Best for Independent Living, Assisted Living, or Early Stage memory loss.
$200 per session – Unlimited participants
TV with HDMI input required for showing images
Individual Art Therapy
For individuals who have an interest in art, need extra socialization, or who would like to address the challenges of life in a creative manner. One-on-One art therapy sessions may take place in my office or at the client’s place of residence. All projects/assignments are based on the needs and interests of the client. Individual art therapy addresses specific goals and needs in a private, personalized setting.
$150 per session
