Healing Through Art

Emerge Psychology Group

Chicago, IL 60613
When
September 6 through October 25
Every Saturday
3pm - 4:30pm
Description
Living with a chronic or invisible illness can feel isolating, emotionally exhausting, and can make us feel misunderstood. This is a supportive, art therapy-based mental health group designed to provide a safe space for individuals navigating these unique challenges. We will use creative expression, through drawing, painting, collage, and other accessible art forms, to explore emotions, reduce stress, and connect with others who understand what it is like to live with a body that does not always cooperate or having invisible conditions. Guided by a Licensed Art Therapist, participants will engage in weekly sessions focused on themes such as grief, resilience, identity, and self-compassion. No artistic skill is necessary, just a willingness to express, explore, and share. Whether your diagnosis is physical, neurological, autoimmune, or otherwise hidden from view, you are welcome. Maximum 10 people. $60 per session. Facilitated in person by Emma Burzycki, M.A., LPC, ATR, Saturdays, 3:00 to 4:30 pm CST.
