Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Latine and Hispanic communities in the United States. While this period is often focused on celebrating cultural pride, it also offers a unique opportunity to discuss the importance of mental health and how therapy can help individuals of Latine and Hispanic heritage overcome challenges and thrive.

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unlike traditional talk therapy, art therapy provides a non-verbal way to express thoughts and feelings, which can be particularly beneficial for those who find it difficult to articulate their emotions or experiences in words.
