The Art Station

Founded in 2004, The Art Station is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization in North Texas providing art therapy to help individuals dealing with difficult life challenges. Some of those challenges include: depression and other mental health issues, behavioral problems, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, chronic illnesses, developmental delays and school problems due to low self esteem, anxiety or attention issues.  Others have found art therapy helpful to increase self-discovery and explore growth potential. 
     Art therapists are licensed counselors who also have a masters degree and/or extensive specialized training in the use of art making in a therapeutic setting. Creating art in art therapy sessions is more about the process of art making, rather than the finished art product. During the art making process with the therapist, a visual language is created, making it easier to recognize, express and process the emotions that can keep us entangled and stuck in difficult life situations. Expressing emotions helps open the door to healing and growth.
     The Art Station is housed in the renovated historic Fire Station #16 located at 1616 Park Place Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. For more information, visit: www.theartstation.org.
