Initiatic Art Therapy

Initiatic Art Therapy, developed by Cornelia Elbrecht, is rooted in Sensorimotor Art Therapy. It is a body-focused, trauma-informed approach that uses art to facilitate transformation and healing. It emphasizes the body's role in experiencing and processing trauma, taking a bottom up approach, and encouraging self-awareness and emotional regulation. 

​

Depending on what is arising in session, there are an array of art-making experiences incorporated. Some examples include - guide drawing, mandala exploration, mask masking, symbols and guided imagery, collage, and others. 

​

Art therapy is about expression and putting color, shape, and texture to the parts of our inner world that feel hard to talk about.
