Center for Change uses creative therapies as a catalyst to help clients discover important insights and feelings that are key to their recovery. Specially trained therapists guide sessions in art, music, dance, movement, and recreation. These experiences promote exploration, expression, and resolution of feelings and concerns. Such activities help a client make decisions, assume responsibility, and fulfill her physical, social, and emotional potential. The confidence that clients gain through these activities helps them deal with their issues more openly during individual and group therapy sessions.
Recreation therapy is an excellent, kinetic form of healing.
Our structured recreation therapy sessions are held three times each week, with sessions being both leisure oriented and intensive and highly experiential. This form of therapy helps clients relax and experience alternative forms of positive expression. Art therapy is another experiential and expressive form of treatment that helps those who suffer with an eating disorder to connect with themselves deeply and personally in non-verbal and verbal forms of art which help them to express pain, joy, struggle, loneliness, and triumph. The atmosphere is safe and loving. The discoveries are remarkable.
