In a world that seeks new ways of healing, art emerges to generate nutritional and deep connections. Art therapy is a discipline that integrates the creative process with therapeutic accompaniment, offering a space where symbolic expression, self -knowledge and emotional transformation become possible.
Although in Argentina it began to be practiced between the late 60s and the beginning of the 70s, it is not yet known with the depth it deserves. Many of its benefits still do not spread properly. As a mental health professional specialized in this approach, I bet on changing that reality and bringing this tool to those who need it.
Artotherapy has roots in art and psychology. In Europe, pioneers like Adrian Hill and Edward Adamson used drawing and painting with hospitalized patients, discovering their potential to relieve emotional suffering. In the United States, Margaret Naumburg and Edith Kramer developed approaches that, although different, agreed on something essential: art when used with therapeutic intention, can improve lives and develop multiple benefits.
Today, art therapy is consolidated as a tool based on scientific evidence. Several studies show their effectiveness in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic diseases, and more. It is applied in hospitals, health centers, schools, prisons and community spaces. And, although in countries like ours it is not yet completely regulated, more and more professionals are formed with seriousness and ethical commitment.
The technique I use is based on a line cognitive-behavioralintegrating art as a form of clinical intervention and emotional accompaniment. I work in the mental health area especially in anxiety disorders, trauma, among others.
I invite those who feel curiosity or interest in this approach to approach, to ask, to know how art can be a real and accessible way to take care of mental health. Because healing does not always start with words. Sometimes, start with a brushstroke.
