Grant yourself the permission to be creative!

Art Groups

Sometimes in life we can feel stuck and feel like we are going through the same motions everyday which can lead to feeling depressed, perfection paralysis, a lack of passion, or feeling a lack of motivation. Giving yourself permission to play and explore through art is a powerful way to break that cycle. At Sketchbook Counseling, Crystal Chen guides groups of all ages and backgrounds—no art experience required—to move beyond stagnation by rediscovering imagination and spark creativity.

Groups at Sketchbook Counseling focus on creating an intimate and safe environment for creativity and exploration. Groups are kept small to allow the instructor to provide ample focus and attention on each individual in the group and to foster an inviting environment for all. If you are interested in bringing a fresh energy to your life with hope and creativity, sign up for one of Sketchbook Counseling’s groups today!

The class will aim to help learn some art skills while also building on creativity skills.

Making art groups a routine part of your child's schedule will help them to develop these strengths.
