At Raíces Art Therapy, our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive space where healing begins through creative expression. Rooted in the Spanish word Raíces, meaning roots, we honor the deep connection between our past experiences and our present selves. We use trauma-informed art therapy practices to support individuals, especially children, adults, and veterans who are navigating the effects of trauma, mental health challenges, and emotional hardship.

 

Our programs are designed to offer a non-verbal outlet for feelings that are often difficult to express, helping participants build resilience, self-awareness, and a renewed sense of self-worth. We believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive when given the tools to explore their own narratives in a safe and supportive environment. Through community partnerships, volunteer facilitators, and licensed mental health professionals, we are committed to bridging gaps in mental health access and fostering long-term emotional wellness.
