About Us

Cabbagetown Art Center Counseling and Art Therapy Collective is a unique place for people to Improve Mental Health, Develop Creativity, Gather and Support One Another, Take Art Classes, Learn Skills, Teach a Group, and Share Stories of Resilience.

When We Gather We Grow.

If you can achieve the creative principles in art making, an art therapist can help you translate the achievement into your life.

Creativity is Being

Self-Expressive
Open to Other Thoughts, Ideas, Perspectives
Brave to Move Outside One’s Comfort Zone
Committed To Self, Others, and Processes
Aware and Mindful
Curious and Experimenting Not Critical
Both Imaginative and Logical to Execute
