• Expressive Arts Therapy (EXA)

    Expressive arts therapy helps clients explore their issues through a creative lens. This form of exploration and collaboration opens doors and brings clarity to what may have felt like a stuck situation. There is no need for any artistic training; the focus is on the process, not on the product. Some of the modalities we use are visual arts, drama, dance/movement, sand tray, music, dreamwork, and guided imagery. Through creativity, we access the left part of our brain which helps us understand what is happening in a new way and find new solutions to old problems. That being said, our work at Family Matters of Marin is client-centered and we follow the lead of our client’s comfort level with the arts. Some clients delve right into the process and feel very comfortable using the arts while others are more comfortable primarily talking. At times we may explore issues through different creative outlet clients are comfortable with.
