Dandelion Therapeutic Art Center

Art therapy sessions are available in person and via telehealth at Dandelion Therapeutic Art Center in Chicago. The center uses a studio-based model that combines art, creativity, and therapy, with opportunities to make art during sessions. Its approach is relational, strength-based, collaborative, and informed by clinical techniques. Art therapy is the center's sole focus. No art experience is required; clients receive guidance with materials and techniques while working toward their goals. Dandelion also provides community offerings and professional offerings. The practice is designed for people who may not have words for what they are experiencing or who want an alternative to traditional talk therapy. Sessions can involve creative work in a space arranged more like an art studio than a conventional therapy setting.
