The creative process involved in expressing one's self artistically can help people to resolve issues. It helps to manage the behavior and feelings, reduce stress and improve self-esteem and awareness. Art therapy is the therapeutic use of art making, for people who are ill, traumatized or facing challenges in life and for people who seek personal development. Art therapy can achieve different things for different people. The art therapist treats through counseling, psychotherapy and massages one's inner-self in a way that may provide the one with deeper understanding of oneself. Art therapists use tools such as paints, chalks and markers. Art therapy combines traditional psychotherapeutic theories and techniques with an understanding of the psychological aspects of the creative process, especially the affective properties of different art materials. Art therapy is a growing field that is being more widely accepted.
