At Inspired Healing Therapy in Royal Oak, Michigan, we believe that healing and growth can happen at any age—and that creative expression plays a powerful role in that process. That’s why we’re excited to invite families to our upcoming Creative Arts Therapy Day on Friday, August 15th, from 9:00–11:30am! Designed for children aged 2–5 (with younger siblings welcome if parents are present), this fun and affordable event gives families a chance to experience a variety of creative arts therapies in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Why Creative Arts Therapies Work for Kids
Young children process the world differently than adults. They express emotions through play, movement, and creative activities before they can fully articulate their thoughts with words. That’s where creative arts therapies come in. Our licensed therapists use techniques like dance/movement therapy, art therapy, music therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness to help children develop emotional resilience, build social skills, and process challenging experiences.
Here’s a look at some of the key benefits:
🎶 Music Therapy
Music therapy helps children regulate emotions, improve communication, and build connections through rhythm, melody, and movement. Studies show that music can help reduce anxiety and improve focus in young children. Learn more from the American Music Therapy Association.
🎼 Dance/Movement Therapy
Dance therapy supports healthy motor development and helps children build body awareness, self-confidence, and emotional regulation. Movement gives children a safe outlet to express big feelings. Our therapists specialize in using movement to help kids process experiences and release stress.
🎨 Art Therapy
Art therapy allows kids to express themselves without needing words. Through drawing, painting, and other hands-on activities, children explore emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and gain confidence. It’s also a great way to connect with others in a non-verbal, judgment-free space. Explore more about art therapy with kids.
🌟 Play Therapy
Play therapy uses toys and imaginative play to help kids explore emotions, resolve conflicts, and learn new coping skills. It's especially effective for younger children who naturally express themselves through play. Our therapists use child-centered techniques to meet each child where they are.
🧘 Mindfulness Techniques
Mindfulness can be a powerful tool even for toddlers. Through breathing games, guided movement, and calming rituals, children learn how to tune into their bodies, manage stress, and feel more secure. These techniques set a foundation for lifelong emotional wellness.
