Freedom Institute Art Therapy takes place twice per month in the Morning Intensive Outpatient Program. Christi also provides art therapy in homeless shelters and private practice.

“Freedom Institute provides clients with as many tools as possible to help in the recovery process. They understand the importance of art therapy as an exceptional method to teach clients in early recovery to express themselves non-verbally. The creative act of art making helps communicate feelings and cultivates being in the present moment.”
