Job Title (Rebecca Bufalino)
Art Therapist
General Overview
Art Therapy combines a creative process and psychotherapy. It facilitates self-exploration and understanding of thoughts through using imagery, shapes and colours. This creative process assists in revealing thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to articulate. Art Therapists work one on one with patients who experience illness, traumas or face challenges in everyday life. They use methods of art such as drawing, painting, sculpting and photography to help reveal the expressions and emotions each patient feels.
