In this episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy, Dr. Ashley and David Ross, aka 'The Boss', sit down with Candace Ressler, an Appleseed Counselor and Art Therapist. Candace shares her journey into art therapy, starting from her studies at Kent State and Ursuline College to her current role at Appleseed Community Mental Health Center.
She dives into the practical side of art therapy, explaining how it helps individuals express themselves and cope with trauma in a non-traditional way. One highlight is the upcoming Seeds of Hope art exhibit at Ashland University’s Coburn Art Gallery. This event will showcase artwork from clients and art therapists, providing a unique platform for creative expression and community connection.
Candace also discusses the growing acceptance of art therapy, especially among younger people who may find it easier to express themselves through art rather than words.
