ART THERAPY
At The Thrive Spot, we believe creativity is a powerful tool for your child’s growth and development.
​
We know that big feelings, challenges with self-expression, or difficulties regulating emotions can feel overwhelming for parents and children. If this sounds familiar, please know you’re not alone. Many children find it hard to put their thoughts and feelings into words, and this can sometimes lead to frustration, stress, or behavioural challenges at home and school.
​
That’s where Art Therapy can help! Our art therapist provides a safe and supportive space where children can explore their emotions through creative expression. Using paint, drawing, clay, and other art forms, children can process their experiences, build confidence, and develop coping strategies—without the pressure of needing to “find the right words.”
​
We tailor our sessions to each child’s unique needs, supporting their emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and overall development so they have the best foundation to thrive.
