Pre-Teens & Teens (Ages 12+)
Helping Pre-Teens & Teens Express, Heal, and Grow Through Art Therapy
Supporting young minds through creativity, self-expression, and skill-building in a safe, supportive space.
Navigating adolescence can be challenging—big emotions, social pressures, and personal struggles can feel overwhelming. At Kindred Art Therapy, we help pre-teens and teens (ages 12+) use creative expression to process emotions, reduce stress, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Through guided art-making, we empower young people to gain insight, build resilience, and find their voice—without the pressure of traditional talk therapy.
