“Art therapy gave me space to reconnect with myself.”

"When I first explored art therapy, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I wasn't looking to create masterpieces—I just wanted an outlet, a way to express what words couldn’t. As I worked with colors, textures, and shapes, I realized I was uncovering parts of myself I hadn’t thought about in years.

The experience was freeing. The pressure to ‘do it right’ disappeared, and all that mattered was the process—the way creativity helped me navigate emotions and regain balance. It wasn’t about making art; it was about making space for myself. And that made all the difference."— Marie
