Dandelion Therapeutic Art Center

Move beyond traditional talk therapy at Dandelion Therapeutic Art Center. As humans, we tend to be great with hiding behind & filtering our words.

Art Therapy allows us to move beyond words go deeper, where we can unlock our issues & begin to grow. In person and Telehealth options available. LGBTQ+ safe space. Messiness welcome! Life can get messy. Here at Dandelion, we practice in a studio-based model where you are surrounded by opportunities to get dirty and create. Our space looks more like an art studio than a traditional therapy atmosphere, and often we are making art with you. We rely on a relational, strength-based and collaborative approach in our work while utilizing clinical techniques and skills. Art therapy is our sole focus - our team is dedicated to developing, learning and advancing the practice of art therapy. We pride ourselves on providing the best care for all of our clients, families as well as our staff. We have built a reputation on providing clients with an art-based therapeutic approach blending art psychotherapy and art as therapy while being both artistically and clinically sound therapists.

Join us as we kick off weekend with a very special event called Through Art, We Heal.

This therapeutic art exhibition reflects an eight-year journey of healing, growth, and connection that started with a young client and, eventually, grew into a family practice, where art became a shared language of resilience, repair, and hope.

Stop by on Friday, September 12 between 6:30 pm and 8 pm to view and experience the power of art therapy.

You'll also be invited to use this exhibition as inspiration to adding to a community Through Art, We Heal mural. Our studio will be open for touring.

We'll have art supplies on hand to help you get back into the shopping game!

Parents! We have TWO upcoming events that are just for you.

Here are more details about the really special in-studio experience with our friends from :

No one asking you a question. No one telling you they are bored. No one asking you for McDonald's.

Just you. And one hour of STILLNESS. And soothing vibrational sound. And the magic that follows (aka artmaking).

The event is free but space is very limited. Email officemanager@dandelionartstudio.com to register.

We hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at our new studio, celebrating all those who have supported us along the way.

Truth is, we wouldn't be here -- in this moment -- without the support and guidance of so, so, so many.

There really are no words to express our true gratitude.

Our goal: 1,000 paper cranes.

As we transitioned from our old to our new studio, we invited our Dandelion community to help create origami cranes -- the symbol of honor, good fortune, loyalty and longevity.

Japanese folklore notes that anyone with the patience and commitment to fold 1,000 paper cranes should be given good fortune and granted a wish.

What would your one wish be?

05/06/2024

We designed our studio to include four arches. Arches can symbolize leaving the old behind and entering the new.

Leonardo da Vinci wrote that "an arch is nothing else than a strength caused by two weaknesses; for the arch in buildings is made up of two segments of a circle ... converted into a single strength."
