Creative Therapies - Lawrence Hall - Main Campus

Creative Therapies complement traditional talk therapy since many youths find it easier to express their trauma in a way that engages more than just speech. This allows youth in DCFS care to tap into their creative sides while clinical therapists provide individualized treatment, allowing the youth to explore their feelings, manage behaviors, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.
