Creative Arts Therapy: Two Main Approaches
Process-intensive. The focus entails the process of making the art, and what the person is consciously or unconsciously expressing through their art.
Outcome-oriented. The alternative to being process-oriented is having a sense of mastery. Oftentimes, adults have extreme difficulty achieving their academic goals. Art Therapy can provide creative challenges that are less intimidating, approachable and achievable, thereby building their confidence to meet their challenges in the everyday lives.

Time to use S.O.A.P! Wash away the past!
S.O.A.P is a form of documentation originally employed by health care providers to write clinical notes in a patient's chart. Nowadays, a variety of health care fields uses the S.O.A.P. method as fast assessment tool. Understanding that format, TWW Inc. decided to use S.O.A.P. to compliment art therapy and discovered ways to implement the notes in the art, not the chart!

Creative Arts Therapy Modalities
Visual Art therapy is an intermodal discipline where the therapist and client move freely between drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Through using multiple forms of expression, individuals can focus on a medium they feel most comfortable. By using unfamiliar materials, it can also aid in fostering deeper exploration and creativity.

Dance therapy uses movement to improve mental and physical well-being. It is a recognized form of complementary therapy. Experts have shown that physical activity is known to increase special neurotransmitter substances in the brain (endorphins), which create a state of well-being.

Drama therapy is a form of 'expressive therapy.' It is an excellent modality to solve problems by delving into truths about self, understand the meaning of personally resonant images, explore and transcend unhealthy personal patterns of behavior and interpersonal interaction.

Music therapy may involve listening to music, creating music, singing, and discussing music, in addition to guided imagery with music. It promotes self-expression through several approaches, such as creating a musical and emotional environment that fosters personal experiences or feelings. Activities may incorporate speech and drama as well, or use singing and discussions. Music with lyrics can encourage the creativity of words that form into a positive, unique song.



Final Outcome - to invent a creative strategy to promote change, insight, and well-being.
The art therapy focuses on individuals with anxiety, depression, substance, dependency, stress, cognitive impairments, family or relationship issues, diseases and more.
