Art Therapy in San Mateo & San Carlos
Art therapy invites healing through creativity. At Izzo Therapy in San Mateo and San Carlos, our art therapists help clients express emotions, process experiences, and find calm through creative exploration.
You don’t have to be an artist to benefit — just open to color, movement, and imagination. Through drawing, painting, collage, or sculpture, you’ll discover new ways to understand yourself and communicate what words can’t always say.
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression to support emotional growth and mental wellness. Guided by a licensed therapist, clients explore thoughts and feelings through art materials in a safe, non-judgmental space.
It can help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase self-awareness. Whether you’re coping with stress, grief, trauma, or simply want a more mindful outlet, art therapy can bring powerful insight and relief.
Art therapy supports people of all ages — from children who express themselves best through play and drawing, to adults navigating complex emotions.
It’s especially helpful for individuals living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship challenges. Teens often find comfort in art therapy because it provides freedom, privacy, and creativity all at once. It’s a gentle, empowering way to explore feelings that can be hard to verbalize.

Each art therapy session is tailored to you. You might paint to process grief, create vision boards to inspire confidence, or use clay to explore grounding and sensory awareness.
Your therapist will guide reflection, helping connect creative choices to underlying emotions and experiences. Sessions can be individual, family-based, or integrated into broader therapy goals — in person at our San Mateo and San Carlos offices or through virtual art therapy across California.
