Art Therapy
Healing Through Creative Exploration
At Casa Leona Treatment Center, Art Therapy offers a powerful, expressive path to healing for individuals in addiction and mental health recovery. Through the act of creation—whether painting, drawing, sculpting, or collaging—clients are able to explore emotions, process trauma, and discover personal insights that may be difficult to express through words alone.
Led by licensed therapists, our Art Therapy program supports self-expression, emotional clarity, and transformation—providing a safe and supportive outlet as part of your holistic recovery journey.

Creative Expression as Emotional Healing
What Is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a clinically guided process that uses creative expression to promote emotional growth, trauma resolution, and self-awareness. It’s not about artistic talent—it’s about using art as a therapeutic tool to access and release difficult emotions in a healthy, constructive way.
For individuals struggling with substance use, PTSD, anxiety, or depression, Art Therapy helps unlock the inner voice, bridge emotional disconnect, and foster resilience during recovery.
