Art Therapy: Addressing Anxiety and Depression
(6 CE Hours)
Friday, Sept. 25, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tuition: $130 general; $120 Antioch alumni, faculty, staff Materials fee: $5

Art therapy is based on the concept that externalizing the internal process is inherently therapeutic. Art therapy offers an effective and safe way for clients to explore the complex and overwhelming emotions often experienced by individuals with anxiety or depression. Through use of simple materials like markers, paper, air dry clay, collage, and fabric, clients can find new ways of exploring old issues and self-directed paths to stability. In this hands-on workshop, discover how art therapy can be used specifically to address the needs of clients. Learn the theoretical basis of art therapy and how it is applied in therapeutic settings. Develop an understanding of client responses and possible resistance. Several art activities are explored including collage, meditation based art and doll making.

Instructor: Rebecca Bloom, MPS, ATR-BC, LMHC, is a visiting faculty member in Antioch’s School of Applied Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy. She provides private art therapy counseling and supervision in Seattle. Bloom specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions and GLBT issues.
