      Cove offers a student-centered and studio-based model where participants are given opportunities to create within a therapeutic setting. Kinesthetic, sensory, perceptual, and symbolic opportunities invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Relying on a relational, strength-based, and collaborative approach, the art therapist utilizes clinical techniques and skills to support the social and emotional needs of students. As a member of the mental health team and a clinician at Cove, the art therapist works collaboratively with students’ teams to establish appropriate goals and to ensure the highest quality of service.
