taking a break. I'm at school bc I decided I really needed an environment free of distraction. Wonder at not finding a place CLOSER to my house. Honestly though, I've been sooooo distracted that I KNOW I'm toying with my grades. I like, haven't gone to my accounting class in forever! I'm so borderline its not even funny. AND I'm FREAKING OUT bc a test tomrrow will make or break my grade in, of all classes, Geography!!! Trust me, no matter what you think, it's NOT that easy. anyway....

I really really like the kids that go to storytime. They are so much fun! And I like that customers know me by name and even though I dont know their name, I know ABOUT them and most likely their kid's name. I shall be very sad to leave, I think.

Art therapy is based on the belief that the creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life-enhancing. Through creating art and talking about art and the process of art making with an art therapist, one can increase awareness of self, cope with symptoms, stress, and traumatic experiences, enhance cognitive abilities, and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of artistic creativity.

Art therapists are professionals trained in both art and therapy and hold a masters degree in art therapy or a related field. Art therapists work with children, adolescents, and adults and provide services to individuals, couples, families, groups, and communities. They often work as part of clinical teams, in settings that include mental health, rehabilitation, medical and forensic institutions; community outreach programs; wellness centers; schools; nursing homes; corporate structures; art studios; and independent practices. Art therapists are skilled in the application of a variety of art modalities (drawing, painting, clay, and other mediums) for treatment and assessment and conduct research as well as provide consultations to allied professionals.
