Cynthia Wilson, Ph.D., ATR-BC
Art is a universal language that can be very healing for even those individuals experiencing the greatest depths of hopelessness.
The Unique Imaging Art Therapy program enables individuals to express themselves in a way that expands their vision of their place in the world. Ultimately boosting their self- confidence and detaching from negative self-images and discovering their true core-self once again.
