While the terms "therapeutic arts" and "art therapy" sound similar, there are key distinctions.
Art therapy is a clinical practice and form of psychotherapy that utilises the creative process of making art to improve health, and is facilitated by a qualified art therapist who is trained to use art as a tool to address specific therapeutic goals.
Therapeutic arts, on the other hand, is a broader term encompassing various creative activities that promote well-being that can be done without supervision or clinical intervention. It might involve exploring different art forms for self-expression, using art to unwind and de-stress, or engaging in creative practices for personal growth and insight.
At Arcana, we focus on the broader spectrum of therapeutic arts and do not offer art therapy services. Our platform offers a variety of creative experiences designed to foster self-discovery and relaxation. It's important to note that our services are not a substitution for traditional psychotherapy, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
