New Clients

At VK Creative Circle, we know life can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s why we provide a creative, hands-on environment where you’re encouraged to explore and express yourself through art. Our goal is to deliver the highest level of care, not only to our clients but also to their families and our dedicated team.

Art therapy is a personal journey, and there’s no single formula for success. No previous art experience is required—just come with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. We’re here to guide you, offering the materials and techniques that will help you reach your unique goals.

We offer both in-person sessions and online options, making it easy and convenient to start your therapeutic journey.

What to Expect in an Art Therapy Session

At VK Creative Circle, our art therapy sessions take place in a welcoming and creative environment designed to inspire healing through art. Our space has an art studio vibe, offering an open, non-traditional setting where you can fully immerse yourself in the creative process, often alongside your therapist.

During your first session, we’ll focus on understanding you as an individual—your goals, challenges, and personal history. While this intake session may involve more conversation to build a strong therapeutic relationship, creating art will still be part of the experience. Moving forward, each session is customized to suit your needs, blending creative expression with discussion to help you reach your personal therapeutic goals. Together, we may work on new artistic techniques or even collaborate on a piece, ensuring each session is tailored to you.

Our approach is rooted in building a trusting, supportive relationship, centered on authenticity, compassion, and creative exploration. As trained art therapists, we use a variety of methods to craft personalized therapy that addresses your unique needs, helping you grow and heal in a way that feels right for you.

How do I know if art therapy is right for me?

Art therapy can benefit anyone who wants to explore their emotions, reduce stress, or gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors. It’s a good fit if you’re open to expressing yourself creatively and willing to explore your feelings in a safe, supportive space.

Will anyone see my artwork?

No, your artwork is private and used only as a therapeutic tool. However, if you want to share your work or discuss it, your therapist will support you in that process.

The length of time in art therapy depends on your personal goals and needs. Some clients attend for a few sessions, while others may engage in therapy for a longer period. You and your therapist will work together to determine the best plan for you.

What if I feel unsure about where to start, what to create, how to approach the process, or create any kind of art?

That’s completely fine! Your therapist will guide you through the process, providing prompts and suggestions to help you get started. The focus is on exploring and expressing yourself, not on making something perfect or finished.

Do I need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy?

No, art therapy is for everyone, regardless of artistic skill. The focus is on the process of creating art and self-expression, not the final product.
