Art therapy isn’t just crafts.
And it’s not just talking either.

It’s neuroscience.
It’s nervous system regulation.
It’s meaning-making.

And when clients want it — it can be rooted in faith.

At Creative Connections Counseling, we believe therapy should be clinically sound and spiritually grounded.

If you’ve ever wondered what art therapy actually is, save this post 🤍

Dear families,
We see you. The world is scary. As a mother, my heart aches for everyone that I see.
How do we talk about this? How do we make being home fun and exciting, while we are anxious and isolated to stay safe? Children are growing restless, confused, and anxious with us. This time it’s not a pandemic but from systems that should have kept us all safe.
Well, we’ve got something in mind to help.
As art therapists, we have seen and studied the multitude of positive effects and healing art can provide. A chance to bond, to let art speak where our words fail, and provide comfort by regulating our nervous systems.

Due to this, we are offering a new program.

UPLIFT is a completely free art monthly program while we navigate the current conditions in Minnesota; this program will be free to all families enrolled. This workshop is designed to honor and uplift your voice.

Families Receive:
-A maximum of 2 art kits per family (supplies are limited)
-Safety and moderation – our team is taking every step to keep this in mind
-Art activities and prompts/live-streamed guided sessions
-Comfortability to create with loved ones and in their own homes
-Monthly & as needed communication

As moms, we see it first.
The overwhelm. The shutdown. The pressure our kids carry that they don’t always have words for.

Creative Unwind is a 6-week virtual art therapy group designed for teens ages 11–14 who need a gentle place to slow down, release emotions, and reconnect with themselves—without judgment or performance.

This isn’t an art class.
It’s a therapeutic space where creativity becomes a language for emotions, stress, and nervous system regulation.

In this group, your teen will:
✨ Learn healthy ways to release emotions
✨ Build coping skills and self-confidence
✨ Strengthen peer connection in a safe, guided setting
✨ Take a break from constant expectations and demands

🗓 Wednesdays | 6:00–7:30pm
📅 Feb 11 – Mar 18
🖥 Virtual | Ages 11–14
đź’ł Most insurances accepted

This isn’t about fixing yourself or setting perfect goals.
It’s about pausing, reflecting, praying, and creating space to listen to what God is inviting you into this year.

No pressure. No perfection.
Just creativity, community, and presence.

Sacred Pause — An Art Therapy Circle ✨
A 6-week virtual space to slow down, breathe, and create without pressure.

This group is for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, navigating transition, caregiving, grief, or simply longing for a gentler rhythm. Grounded in art therapy principles, Sacred Pause is spiritual-but-not-religious, trauma-informed, and inclusive.

There’s no expectation to “be good at art.”
No performance.
Just intentional slowing, emotional safety, and making marks as a way of listening to your body and nervous system.

🗓 Mondays | 6:00–7:30pm
đź–Ą Virtual | Adults 18+
📅 Feb 9 – Mar 16

Reminders for 2026 🤍

As we step into a new year, may we release the pressure to be perfect and instead hold space for grace.
It’s okay to start over.
It’s okay to feel deeply.
It’s okay to ask for help.
It’s okay to grow, rest, change, and take your time.

Wherever 2026 meets you, you are worthy, capable, and not alone.
